| Sumario: | The paper highlights the connection established by Eriugena between the liberal arts and the human soul, first in the glosses he adds to Martianus Capella's text and later in his magnum opus, Periphyseon.

Through the analysis of these texts, certain allegorical images employed by Eriugena to elucidate this topic will be revealed. |
