Description
Description

Looks at the earliest insular and continental evidence for knowledge and use of Martianus Capella’s De nuptiis, concludes that the insular transmission of the text is limited mostly to part of the book on grammar, perhaps originating from a miscellany, and suggests that “the interest in De nuptiis as a storehouse of secular learning bloomed only on the Continent, and not in the insular world”.
