17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. Claudius Ælianus (c. 175–c. 235) [Aelian].  Roman author and teacher of rhetoric, born at Praeneste, flourished under Septimius Severus and probably outlived Elagabalus (d. 222). He spoke Greek so perfectly that he was called “honey-tongued” (μελιγλωσσος); although a Roman he preferred Greek authors, and wrote in Greek himself. His chief works are On the Nature of Animals, curious and interesting stories of animal life, frequently used to convey moral lessons (ed. Schneider, 1784; Jacobs, 1832); Various History—for the most part preserved only in an abridged form—consisting mainly of anecdotes of men and customs (ed. Lünemann, 1811). Both works are valuable for the numerous excerpts from older writers. Considerable fragments of two other works On Providence and Divine Manifestations are preserved in Suïdas; twenty Peasants’ Letters, after the manner of Alciphron but inferior, are also attributed to him.
