Deipnosophistae; e recognitione Augusti Meineke: 2 [Latin]

By August Meineke

Deipnosophistae, a work by Athenaeus of Naucratis, meticulously edited by August Meineke, offers a rich tapestry of classical knowledge and convivial discourse. This volume, presented in Latin, showcases Athenaeus's erudition and provides invaluable insights into the intellectual and social life of the ancient world.

The Deipnosophistae, meaning "Dinner-Sophists" or "Philosophers at Dinner," is structured as a series of dialogues purportedly recorded during a lavish banquet. Through these conversations, Athenaeus compiles a vast array of information on topics ranging from gastronomy and music to literature and philosophy. Meineke's edition ensures the accessibility and scholarly value of this enduring work.
