Description
"Entirely faithful to Boethius' Latin; it makes the philosophy of the Consolation of Philosophy intelligible to students; it gives equal weight to the poetry -- in fact, Relihan's metrical translation of Boethius' metra are themselves contributions of the first moment to Boethian studies. Boethius finally has a translator equal to his prodigious talents and his manifold vision." -- Joseph Pucci, Brown University.
Joel Relihan is Associate Professor of Classics, Wheaton College.
