Boethius (c. 480 - c.524) Roman philosopher, theologian, and statesman, whose translations of and commentaries on Aristotle deeply influenced the thought in the medieval Latin West. Boethius' best known work is De consolatione philosophiae (Consolation of Philosophy), composed in prison while he was waiting for execution. It was one of the most widely read books in medieval times, after the Vulgate Bible Old age came suddenly by suffering speed,
And grief then bade her government begin:
My hair untimely white upon my head,
And I a worn out bone-bag hunting with flesh.
Death would be blessing if it spared the glad
But heeded invocations from the wretch.

(from The Consolation of Philosophy , trans. by Victor Watts) Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius was born into the distinguished Christian family of the Anicii. A member of it, Olybrius, had been emperor in 472, four years before the last emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was deposited. Boethius' father was a consul. After he died, Boethius was raised by the senator and historian Quintus Aurelius Memmius Symmachus. Later he married Symmachus' daughter, Rusticana. Little is known of Boethius' life. The oldest known biography of Boethius was written by Cassiodorus, his senatorial colleague. It is possible that he was born in Rome, completed there his schooling, and continued his education in Alexandria. In 510 Boethius became consul under Theodoric the Great (d. 526), the Ostrogothic king of Italy. In his court in Ravenna Theodoric gathered together skilled administrators, Germanic poets, and Latin men of letters. About 520 Boethius rose to the position of

De Musica of Boethius
Anicius Manilus Severinus Boethius Late 10th century Rare Books Collection
De institutione musica is the oldest book in the State Library. Originally written by Boethius in the 5th century, this treatise is a purely theoretical text. Rather than commenting on the practice of music, De musica consists primarily of definitions and explanations of musical terms in relation to mathematics. This approach, which considered music as a mathematical discipline, was prevalent among scholars up to the Middles Ages. Attached to this work is an abridged version of Musica enchiriadis . Often bound with De musica , it is an anonymous 9th century musical treatise documenting both the practical and theoretical aspects of music practice at this time.

Boethius
December 2nd, 2007 Boethius was an interesting and important character of the ancient church, but surprisingly does not receive as much attention as other figures. Boethius, a Roman noble in the 6th century, wrote an extremely influential treatise on an Augustinian formulation Boethius however, was not able to give them Aristotle and Plato in Latin. Theodoric the Great suspected Boethius of conspiring with the Byzantine emperor Justin I and had him imprisoned. While awaiting his eventual execution, Boethius wrote his most well-known work, the Consolation of Philosophy

    The Consolation of Philosophy
    Boethius wrote in one of his own books that his goal was to translate and make commentaries on all of Plato and Aristotle to show their essential agreement, but due to his early death only some of the Aristotle was he able to pass on to the Western world which for seven centuries had very little other knowledge than his work on logic.
    The Consolation of Philosophy from a Christian which shows by philosophical reasoning and divine intelligence the highest good to which all things move in spite of and beyond the trials and tribulations of temporal fortune. While barbarians were gradually civilizing western Europe and many Christians were retreating into monasteries, the spirit of the times produced the Consolation of Philosophy so that they could understand that fortune was a changeable illusion and that they could go within to find the highest good and realize that they were moving in that divine direction.
    Boethius' Consolation was destined to become one of the most popular books of the Medieval period. In the twentieth century Schepss and Engelbrecht recorded that there is close to four hundred manuscripts.

    6. Boethius
    Boethius was a Christian classicist who lived in the waning years of Rome's greatness. A public servant and philosopher, he looked back towards the classical period for inspiration, while at the same time maintaining a conviction of the rightness of Christianity. Under Emperor Theodoric the Great, Boethius rose to positions of great honor and power, even eventually becoming Magister Officiorum , or "prime minister." Then, suddenly, for reasons not now entirely understood, Boethius fell out of favor and out of power. He was accused of treason and quickly condemned to death. While he was in prison awaiting execution, Boethius wrote a lengthy tract in Latin, The Consolation of Philosophy . Written in the manner and spirit of Greek philosophy, The Consolation of Philosophy reads at times very much like one of the dialogues of Plato. It is a long and rich work, one from which many men and women down through the ages have taken solace. Chaucer was one of these. He admired the work so much that he translated it into Middle English. A number of his works, notably the Knight's Tale and Troilus and Criseyde , show its influence.

      Posted by: Herr Prof. Dr. von Korncrake on May 24th, 2007 Parts Within seconds of taking the floor, my partner Sally, a middle-aged medievalist from a third-tier state university in North Dakota, had proven herself to be the second best dancer at the International Congress on Medieval Studies, and in so doing she leapt upward in my esteem. How could it be otherwise? And so could Sally, and I admired her for it greatly. We had been doing a complicated variation of the Electric Slide, one which I had devised myself, and which Sally was able to pick up and embellish wonderfully. It was joyful and funny, the sort of perfect synchronized improvisation that not one pair in a hundred thousand was capable of doing. And it was, withal, a magical moment. The music slowed; a piece of Lionel Ritchie drivel. Sally and I moved together, shifting to a slow box step. teewurst Sally disengaged herself, stepped back, lifting her left leg slightly, pointing her toe, and raising her arms in an elegant showgirl posture. Suddenly the years spun back and she looked 24, in the dim light, through two pints of brandy and a large Budweiser. UNLV Folies Bergere at the Tropicana Well, what could I say, dear readers?

    " The good are always strong " INTRODUCTION to Severinus Boethius' The Consolation of Philosophy
    Born of Rome in AD 480 from a family of leading burghers, the mathematician, musicologist and polymath Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius became an advisor to the Theodoric the Great, but, suspected of tipping-off the enemy Byzantines, was imprisoned. It was in Ticinum (Modern Pavia) gaol that he wrote what was to become one of the most influential books of the Middle Ages, translated by both Chaucer and Alfred the Great- The Consolation of Philosophy . The Chronicle of Valesii tells that he was, 'tortured for a very long time by a cord that was twisted round his forehead so that his eyes started from his head. Then at last amidst his torments he was killed with a club.' CS Lewis said of The Consolation , that "Until about two hundred years ago it would, I think, have been hard to find an educated man in any European country who did not love it."
    Although it is unclear whether he was a devoted Christian or not, the brave and reflective way in which he faced death led the Roman Church to accept popular devotion and acknowledge him as St Severinus Boethius, his feast day is observed on October 12th.

    Home Articles Games Portals ... Contact Us Philosopher of the Month November 2002 - Boethius Boethius must rate as one of history's most overlooked philosophers. Yet he is arguably one of the key figures in the pantheon of Western philosophy. His work The Consolation of Philosophy has been described as the single most important work in the West in medieval and early Renaissance Christianity. Bertrand Russell himself said that Boethius was a great man free from the superstitious restraints of his age: 'He would have been remarkable in any age; in the age in which he lived, he is utterly amazing.' Also, for centuries Aristotle was known in the West only from two of Boethius' own translations. Professor of Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, Richard Stalley said that the work of Boethius was of profound importance: 'He is extremely significant historically, not least because he was instrumental in transmitting ancient thought to the medieval world and through that to the modern.' Furthermore, Boethius was an authority in the field of music-theoretical matters. Medieval authors from around the ninth century onwards considered his

    Fate and Providence (Book IV, Prose 6)
    "It remains," I said, "for you to explain this apparent injustice I'm suffering now (that is, Boethius' imprisonment, torture, and impending execution)." "The question you're asking," Lady Philosophy replied with a smile, "is the grandest of all mysteries, one which can never be explained completely to the human intellect, for, when one problem is removed, many more arise to take its place, and arise and arise unless the mind is keen and awake. For the problem you raise touches on a number of difficult questions: the simplicity of Providence, the nature of Fate, the unpredictability of Chance, divine and human knowledge, predestination, and free will. You know the difficulty involved in these questions; nevertheless, I will try to answer them in the short space allotted us." Then, as though she were beginning for the first time, Philosophy said, "The coming-into-being of all things, and the entire course that changeable things take, derive their causes, their order, and their forms from the unchanging mind of God. The mind of God set down all the various rules by which all things are governed while still remaining unchanged in its own simplicity. When the government of all things is seen as belonging to the simplicity and purity of the divine mind, we call it 'Providence.' When this government of all things is seen from the point of view of the things that change and move, that is, all things which are governed, from the very beginning of time we have called this 'Fate.' We can easily see that Providence and Fate are different if we think over the power of discernment each has. Providence is the divine reason, the divine
