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.
