An. Manl. Sever. Boethii Consolationis Philosophiae Libri V

This is a 1671 Latin edition of Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius’s masterwork, 'Consolationis Philosophiae Libri V' (The Consolation of Philosophy in Five Books), together with his 'Opuscula Sacra.' This edition includes the complete notes of Johannis Bernartius, Theodorus Sitzmanus, and Renatus Vallinus, and features a preface by Petrus Bertius. Boethius’s 'Consolation of Philosophy,' written while he was imprisoned and facing execution, remains one of the most significant and influential works of Western philosophy. It blends Neoplatonic philosophy with Christian theology, exploring themes of fate, free will, and the nature of happiness. It is presented here in its original Latin, accompanied by scholarly annotations, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of classical philosophy, medieval history, and Latin literature. This edition offers a comprehensive view of Boethius’s thought, combining his philosophical masterpiece with his theological treatises, reflecting the intellectual landscape of the late Roman Empire and the early Middle Ages.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
