Martianus Capella is a book written by Franciscus Eyssenhardt in 1866. The book is a critical edition of the Latin work De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii (On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury) by Martianus Capella, a fifth-century Roman author. The work is a allegorical tale of the wedding of the two gods, which serves as a framework for a discussion of the seven liberal arts: grammar, rhetoric, dialectic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. The book includes a detailed introduction to the work, a critical Latin text, and a comprehensive commentary on the text. Martianus Capella is considered an important work of early medieval education and is a valuable source for the study of classical and medieval culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
