His collections of animal stories ( , <i>De natura animalium</i> ) and the <i>(Varia Historia</i> , which is considered to have given ancient miscellany its name) are more than mere compilations: Aelian himself saw the careful selection and artful presentation of his quotations as a genuine literary achievement.</p><p>This collection of essays reflects the growing research interest in Aelian and present a comprehensive picture of Aelian's use of quotation as a rhetorical device and the wider richness of his literary practices. The volume is aimed at researchers and those interested in learning more about this fascinating author and his work.</p>
