Boethius (c.480–c.525/6), though a Christian, worked in the tradition of the Neoplatonic schools, with their strong interest in Aristotelian logic and Platonic metaphysics. He is best known for his Consolation of Philosophy, which he wrote in prison awaiting execution. His works also include a long series of logical translations, commentaries and monographs and some short but densely-argued theological treatises, all of which were enormously influential on medieval thought. But Boethius was more than a writer who passed on important ancient ideas to the Middle Ages. The essays here by leading specialists, which cover all the main aspects of his writing and its influence, show that he was a distinctive thinker, whose arguments repay careful analysis and who used his literary talents in conjunction with his philosophical abilities to present a complex view of the world.

Literary scholars often avoid the category of the aesthetic in discussions of ethics, believing that purely aesthetic judgments can vitiate analyses of a literary work's sociopolitical heft and meaning. In Practicing Literary Theory in the Middle Ages, Eleanor Johnson reveals that aesthetics-the formal aspects of literary language that make it sense-perceptible-are indeed inextricable from ethics in the writing of medieval literature. Johnson brings a keen formalist eye to bear on the prosimetric form: the mixing of prose with lyrical poetry. This form descends from the writings of the sixth-century Christian philosopher Boethius-specifically his famous prison text, Consolation of Philosophy-to the late medieval English tradition. Johnson argues that Boethius's text had a broad influence not simply on the thematic and philosophical content of subsequent literary writing, but also on the specific aesthetic construction of several vernacular traditions. She demonstrates the underlying prosimetric structures in a variety of Middle English texts-including Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde and portions of the Canterbury Tales, Thomas Usk's Testament of Love, John Gower's Confessio amantis, and Thomas Hoccleve's autobiographical poetry-and asks how particular formal choices work, how they resonate with medieval literary-theoretical ideas, and how particular poems and prose works mediate the tricky business of modeling ethical transformation for a readership.

Die Trostschrift an sich selbst, die der Politiker und Philosoph Boethius (ca. 480-524 n.Chr.) kurz vor seiner Hinrichtung verfasste, gilt neben den Bekenntnissen des Augustinus als das berühmteste Werk der christlichen Spätantike. Weil Boethius als christlicher Märtyrer kanonisiert wurde, erfuhr auch sein Werk, die Consolatio Philosophiae, im Mittelalter eine christliche Umdeutung und führte zu einer außerordentlich intensiven Rezeption, die nicht nur durch die eindrucksvolle Zahl von über 400 Handschriften und ca. 20, zum Teil sehr umfangreiche lateinische Kommentare belegt ist, sondern auch durch Übersetzungen in verschiedene Volkssprachen. Mit einer erstaunlichen religiösen ,Wandlungsfähigkeit' meisterte der Text dann die am Beginn der Renaissance einsetzende Krise der als ,mittelalterlich' geltenden Literatur, wurde aber durch den ent-christianisierenden und re-antikisierenden Kommentar des Josse Bade (1498) für die Humanisten salonfähig gemacht. Im 17. Jahrhundert wurde Boethius dann erneut ,christianisiert', genauer: konfessionalisiert, d.h. für den Diskurs des konfessionellen Zeitalters funktionalisiert. Die vielfältigen Aspekte dieser mittelalterlich-christlichen, humanistischen und konfessionellen Vereinnahmung werden in den Beiträgen des Sammelbandes analysiert und eröffnen eine diachrone, epochenübergreifende Perspektive.

The articles in this volume focus upon Boethius's extant works: his De arithmetica and a fragmentary De musica, his translations and commentaries on logic, his five theological texts, and, of course, his Consolation of Philosophy. They examine the effects that Boethian thought has exercised upon the learning of later generations of scholars--including, to a degree, scholars of the 21st century. The field of Boethian Studies has enjoyed a continuous history of works that treat either the entire Boethian tradition or major aspects of it. This volume offers a comprehensive study, and its construction is systematic, considering Boethius's works both as central to the disciplines that they represent and to the areas of scholarly interest that they influenced, and it is framed by articles on the historical contexts in which those works were produced. Contributors include: Noel Harold Kaylor, Jr., Stephen McCluskey, Rosalind C. Love, Jean-Yves Guillaumin, Siobhan Nash-Marshall, John Casey, Paul E. Szarmach, Christine Hehle, Glynnis M. Cropp, Dario Bancato, Ian Johnson, Mark T. Rimple, Ann E. Moyer, Fabio Troncarelli, and Philip Edward Phillips.

Boethius is largely underrated in the history of Western thought. Scholarship often regarded him and his era - Late Antiquity - as mere intermediaries between Antiquity and the Middle Ages. This volume shows that Boethius and his time can be appreciated in their own right.
