Book portrayal
Pulverulentus Siccus is not a major on-page actor in Prince Caspian, but his name survives through the schoolbook tradition of Telmarine Narnia. He is the author of Grammatical Garden or the Arbour of Accidence pleasantlie open’d to Tender Wits, which tells readers something about the education and cultural tone of the regime Caspian grows up under.
That makes him a useful background figure. Lewis often builds a world through scraps of titles, books, and inherited references. Pulverulentus Siccus helps show the pedantic, rather stale intellectual atmosphere that surrounds Telmarine court life.
