Olivier Demerre and Yanick Maes are organising a reading group on Gellius’ Noctes Atticae, which will be read *in Latin* from the preface onwards. They would especially like to examine the literary and narratological aspects of this work.
Although this is a Latin text, it can certainly appeal to Hellenists, as Gellius has ties with Graeco-Roman literary, cultural, and intellectual figures of the second-century AD.
There will be three sessions this term, that will take place on Tuesdays from 11:30 to 12:30.
- 29/10/2019 (Blandijn, 3rd floor, room “Camelot” formerly Grote Vergaderzaal)
- 19/11/2019 (Blandijn, 1st floor, room 110.022)
- 03/12/2019 (Rozier, room 2.1)
Everyone is welcome – we especially encourage students to participate in these sessions. There is no obligation to prepare the text in advance.
Please contact Olivier (olivier.demerre@ugent.be) if you wish to partake and receive a pdf of the edition that will be used.
