Synopsis

This new edition of Boethius' Consolatio Philosophiae and Opuscula Theologica aims to present both the metaphysical and literary works of this great Roman philosopher to readers. The text of the Consolatio collates all of the manuscripts already employed by the previous editors, plus a good number of 9th-10th century testimonia. As for the Opuscula Theologica, the last critical edition was the one edited by Peiper more than hundred years ago (1871). Although the Opuscula can also be found in a Loeb edition (Rand-Tester ed.), this new edition will be the first to offer any critical support and apparatus.
