Martianus Capella Manuscript now Catalogued

Karlsruhe, LB Aug. Perg. 73, which contains Martianus Capella's De Nuptiis and Avianus' Fabulae is now available with full catalogue information on the project site.  Note that the manuscript has suffered water/mold damage to the upper portion of its folios.  Even so it remains one of the most important witnesses to Capella's text.
