Brill's New Pauly: "Martianus Capella, Martianus Minneus Felix Capella,
author of a Latin encyclopaedic work in 9 bks. called De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii
(‘Philologia's wedding with Mercury), which he dedicated to his son ... originated from
Carthage, according to the subscriptions of the MSS. Several remarks in the work (Mart. Cap.
§§ 577, 999) suggest he may have been a lawyer. Today, the period of composition is thought
to lie in the 420s..." Krapinger, Gernot (Graz). "Martianus
