Note 58 — Chapter III · THE LAST ROMAN SCHOOLS AND THE COMPENDS (FIFTH TO SEVENTH CENTURIES)
Reading edition
The sections on figures (523-555) are taken almost verbatim from Aquila Romanus. The preceding sections on clausula are based on Cicero. Color is used also (e.g. 471) as by Seneca Rhetor (ARP 98). The frequent agreement of Fortunatianus with this book is shown by Dick ad loc. In comparison with the medieval vogue of the whole work, the influence of this book seems small. John of Salisbury’s Metalogicus, for instance, citing Martianus a dozen times, never refers to it.
