Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the use of archaisms in the literary works of Aulus Gellius, a Roman author of the 2nd century AD. The author examines Gellius' vocabulary and syntax, arguing that, while Gellius' archaizing tendencies are most evident in his vocabulary, there are also notable archaisms in his syntax. The author situates Gellius within the broader context of the archaizing movement in Roman literature, and explores the factors that may have contributed to Gellius' archaizing tendencies, including his African origins, his admiration for earlier Latin authors, and his legal training. The book concludes by discussing the significance of Gellius' archaisms for our understanding of Latin literature and language in the 2nd century AD.
