Boethius(auth), Brian Donaghey, Noel Harold Kaylor, Philip Edward Phillips, Paul E. Szarmach (eds) - Remaking Boethius. The English Language Translation Tradition of 'The Consolation of Philosophy'

Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xxviii + 496 pages, 156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503584676. ¶ Summary This volume is a reference work, organized chronologically in its sections, with a separate entry for each translator's work. The sections are defined by the type of translations they comprise, whether complete, partial, meters only, etc. The plan of the book is encyclopedic in nature: some biographical material is provided for each translator; the translations are described briefly, as are their linguistic peculiarities, their implied audiences, their links with other translations, and their general reception. Sample passages from the translations are provided, and where possible these are two of the most well-known moments in the Consolatio: the appearance of Lady Philosophy, narrated by the Prisoner, and the cosmological hymn to the Deus of the work, sung by Lady Philosophy.
