This essay analyzes the connections between the Martianus Capella manuscript tradition and the exegesis of De inventione, focussing in particular on the first medieval commentary of Cicero’s text, in other words Menegaldus’ commentary (XI c.), only recently published and therefore still open to comparison with the De nuptiis. The three cases which are here examined are: the term culleus, an interpolation in the Menegaldus manuscript tradition derived from the exegesis of the commentary to Martianus and the identification by commentators of Ciceron’s quidam (inv. I 2,2) as the first person who was capable of civilizing man thanks to rhetoric

Abstract

This essay analyzes the connections between the Martianus Capella manuscript tradition and the exegesis of De inventione, focussing in particular on the first medieval commentary of Cicero’s text, in other words Menegaldus’ commentary (XI c.), only recently published and therefore still open to comparison with the De nuptiis. The three cases which are here examined are: the term culleus, an interpolation in the Menegaldus manuscript tradition derived from the exegesis of the commentary to Martianus and the identification by commentators of Ciceron’s quidam (inv. I 2,2) as the first person who was capable of civilizing man thanks to rhetoric
