Abstract
The chapter examines the form the practices of reading, discussing and commenting on scientific and philosophical texts take within the compilatory writings 'Table Talk' by Plutarch (1st-2nd c. CE) and 'Noctes Atticae' by Aulus Gellius (2nd c. CE) with a view to interpreting their function as models of imparting and transmitting knowledge.
