Overview

De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii is a seminal work of Latin literature by Martianus Capella. This allegorical text, also known as The Marriage of Philology and Mercury, explores the seven liberal arts: Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Geometry, Arithmetic, Astronomy, and Music. The work is a complex blend of prose and verse, presenting the marriage of Philologia (Learning) and Mercury (Intelligence) as a symbolic representation of the union of knowledge and eloquence. This edition also includes scholia on Germanicus Caesar's adaptation of Aratus's astronomical poem, offering additional insights into classical learning and celestial knowledge. This combination provides a valuable resource for students and scholars interested in classical literature, ancient philosophy, and the history of education. The enduring appeal of De Nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii lies in its synthesis of knowledge and its influence on medieval education and thought.
