In most cases, identifying the\u003cem\u003e ipsissima verba\u003c\/em\u003e of the author is difficult or impossible, and even the methodological validity of such an attempt remains open to debate. Following established precedents, no distinction is drawn between \u003cem\u003etestimonia\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003efragmenta\u003c\/em\u003e; instead, a single consecutive numbering system is adopted for the various \u003cem\u003ereliquiae\u003c\/em\u003e. These are drawn from sources in Latin and Greek, as well as in Syriac, Arabic, and Armenian. Passages known from oriental languages are presented here in a Latin back-translation, specially prepared for this edition. Each entry includes a pre-apparatus (wherever applicable) and a selective but meticulous \u003cem\u003eapparatus criticus\u003c\/em\u003e. For certain Greek and Latin sources still lacking a reliable modern edition, the principal relevant manuscripts have been reexamined. This edition is further enriched by 161 purported 'new fragments' of Apuleius embedded in Niccolò Perotti's \u003cem\u003eCornu Copiae\u003c\/em\u003e, a hitherto scarcely accessible set of dubious items which merit greater scholarly attention. An extensive \u003cem\u003epraefatio\u003c\/em\u003e (in Latin) surveys all the works either lost or falsely attributed to Apuleius, while also detailing the principles and methods underlying this edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonio Stramaglia, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Latin, University of Bari\u003c\/em\u003e, Aldo Corcella, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Classical Philology, University of Basilicata\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAntonio Stramaglia is Professor of Latin at the University of Bari.
