'''Martin of Dacia''' (Martinus Dacus, Martinus de Dacia, Martin de Dacie, 1220-1304) was a Danish scholar, master of arts and theology at the [[University of Paris]] around 1250–88, and the author of ''Modi significandi'', an influential treatise on grammar. He studied and taught arts and theology at the University until his appointment as Chancellor of King Erik VI Menved of Denmark in 1287–8. After sixteen years of service to the king, he died on August 10, 1304 at Paris (Roos 1952, pp. 47–71). Martin represents a relatively early stage in the systematization of a scientific approach to the study of grammar around the 'modes of signifying' (modi significandi) subsequently refined by [[Boethius of Dacia]], [[Radulphus Brito]], [[Siger of Courtrai]], and [[Thomas of Erfurt]].
