The work takes material from the Attic Nights by Aulus Gellius, the Banquet of the Sophists by Ateneo, the Saturnalia of Macrobius, the Memorable deeds and sayings of Valerius Maximus, the Inventor of all things by Polidoro Virgilio, the Moralia and Parallel Lives of Plutarch and, above all, the Natural History of Pliny the Elder.
