J'ai ecrit cet aide-memoire pour toi qui veux tout savoir, afin que tu saches ce qu'est le monde, quels sont ses elements, ce que porte le globe terrestre ou ce que le genre humain a accompli. , tel est l'ambitieux programme de l'Aide-Memoire, ecrit par Ampelius pour son eleve, que l'on a identifie a l'empereur M. Opellius Severus Macrinus. Ce court texte se presente comme un dialogue fictif entre le professeur et Macrinus et rassemble une suite de notices destinees a satisfaire la curiosite de l'eleve. De son auteur, malheureusement, nous ne savons rien, si ce n'est qu'il enseigna a Cesaree en Mauritanie et qu'il possedait un savoir encyclopedique.
Notre edition presente cet Aide-Memoire, riche temoignage de ce qu'etait la litterature scolaire. L'introduction fait le point sur les differentes hypotheses emises, notamment quant a la datation, pour conclure a une redaction a l'extreme fin du regne de Marc-Aurele. Un plan detaille de l'ouvrage est fourni tandis que l'histoire de la tradition manuscrite et des editions est relatee brievement. Des notes accompagnent la lecture, et sont developpees par des notes complementaires. Le lecteur soucieux d'approfondir trouvera des annexes concernant les Sept Merveilles du monde, un tableau des sources, ainsi que les genealogies divines. L'ouvrage est en outre enrichi par des elements de bibliographie, un Index Nominum Latinorum et Graecorum ainsi que des cartes.
