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.
