About the author

After education at Christ Church, Oxford (BA 1967, MA 1970, D.Phil. 1971), Leofranc Holford-Strevens worked as a learned reader at Oxford University Press from 1971 to 1984, and thereafter as a copy-editor until his retirement in 2011 (from 2005 with the title Consultant Scholar-Editor).

Summary

This new critical edition of Aulus Gellius' Noctes Atticae is intended to replace the 1968 Oxford Classical Text by Peter K. Marshall. Based on a thorough reconsideration of the manuscripts, the indirect tradition, and the text, it proposes numerous emendations and in several places corrects the attribution of previous scholars' conjectures.

Additional text

Holford-Strevens, who has spent a lifetime working on the Noctes Atticae and is almost certainly the greatest authority on Gellius in the world today. His passion for the author, his deep knowledge of the text and his skill as a textual critic have helped to create a truly outstanding edition.
