Note 286 — Chapter XXXIV
Reading edition
Apuleius, probably the most celebrated original thinker which Africa had ever produced up to his time, fixed his residence here after quitting his native place, Medaura, which has also the honour of having given birth to St. Augustine. His most celebrated work is The Golden Ass, an allegory in eleven books, one of which contains the beautiful story of Cupid and Psyche.—R. L. P.
