    "​Martianus Minneus Felix Capell (formally listed Capella) probably wrote his work, one of the earliest and most important music treatises in the first half of the 5th Century. It deals with the relationship of music to mythology and the encyclic disciplines, the effect of music on man, the definition and classification of music and theory, harmonics and rhythmics. The work was highly esteemed by medieval teachers. He was the forerunner of Boethius, who wrote this similar, much more comprehensive encyclopedic work.
