Summary

"This collection critically examines translations of Boethius's Consolatio not only into English and German but also into Dutch, Italian, Polish, Hebrew, and Greek. It breaks new ground by expanding the range of vernacular translations considered and by presenting a diplomatic edition of the 1693 translation by Henry Somerset, Duke of Beaufort."--
