Opis

Starting from an episode from Martianus Capella in which Philology, touched by Immortality, vomits up the books from which subsequent instruction is drawn, this essay reflects how corporeal insistence and immortal significance compete for priority in the philological study of texts. This essay explores the history of philology from the perspective of its recent reinvention as a theoretical discipline, using as a guiding thread the episode in Martianus Capella's "Marriage of Philology and Mercury" in which Philology, touched by Immortality, vomits up books that are then appropriated by the liberal arts and by the Muses. This arresting scene gave rise to numerous commentaries that show how its readers found it puzzling. Its combination of visceral physicality with the lure of immortality invites comparison with concerns current among philologists today, such as "material" and "queer" philology, the extent to which manuscript culture is legible, and the nature of textual production and reproduction. The essay examines commentaries on and reactions to this passage of Martianus dating from the ninth, thirteenth, and sixteenth centuries, in order to see both how these concerns have been addressed historically, and how Martianus's portrayal of Philology is relevant to philology today.
