	Martianus Capella - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Martianus Minneus Felix Capella was a pagan writer of Late Antiquity, whose career flourished some time during the 5th century.
		Martianus composed his one famous book between the sack of Rome by Alaric (410), which he mentions, but apparently before the conquest of Africa by the Vandals in 429.
		According to Cassiodorus, Capella was a native of Madaura—which had been the native city of Apuleius—in the Roman province of Africa, and appears to have practiced as a jurist at Carthage.

		Martianus’ De Nuptiis offered a compendium of the seven liberal arts, which rapidly acquired canonical status: that is, the three arts of the trivium (grammar, rhetoric, dialectic) and the four of the quadrivium (geometry, arithmetic, astronomy, music).
		Martianus thus transmitted the “fundamentals of the Roman academic curriculum” to the medieval world. In many ways, the first two books are the key to understanding the attraction of the De Nuptiis.
		And while Martianus was not generally the preferred author for every discipline (for example, Donatus and Priscian were used for the study of grammar in the ninth century), the De Nuptiis contained all of the liberal arts. It was the presence of a complete compendium that proved highly attractive.
