A. Gellii Noctium Atticarum Libri XX is a collection of anecdotes, literary criticisms, and miscellaneous information on a wide range of topics, compiled by Aulus Gellius in the 2nd century AD. The work, titled "Attic Nights," reflects the author's time spent in Attica and offers insights into Roman life, literature, and learning during the era of the Antonine emperors. This edition, edited by Martin Hertz, presents the complete twenty books of Gellius' influential work.

Gellius draws from a vast array of sources, providing glimpses into the works of many ancient authors whose writings are now lost. The "Attic Nights" covers subjects such as grammar, philosophy, history, law, and antiquities, making it a valuable resource for understanding Roman intellectual life. It remains a significant text for scholars and anyone interested in the culture and literature of ancient Rome.
