Martianus Capella’s single encyclopedic work, De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii is an elaborate didactic allegory written in a mixture of prose and elaborately allusive verse. The style is wordy and involved, loaded with metaphor and bizarre expressions. This volume of the complete edition presents Book 9, the treatise on musical harmony. French text.
