false 216537 2 <p> Boethius (Boetius)&#151;Anicius Manlius Severinus&#151;Roman statesman and philosopher (ca. 480-524 <span class="era">CE</span>), was son of Flavius Manlius Boetius, after whose death he was looked after by several men, especially Memmius Symmachus. He married Symmachus's daughter, Rusticiana, by whom he had two sons. All three men rose to high honours under Theodoric the Ostrogoth, but Boethius fell from favour, was tried for treason, wrongly condemned, and imprisoned at Ticinum (Pavia), where he wrote his renowned <i>The Consolation of Philosophy</i>. He was put to death in 524, to the great remorse of Theodoric. Boethius was revered as if he were a saint and his bones were removed in 996 to the Church of S. Pietro in Ciel d'Oro, and later to the Cathedral. The tower in Pavia where he was imprisoned is still venerated.</p><p> Boethius was author of Latin translations of Aristotle, commentaries on various philosophical works, original works on logic, five books on music, and other works. His <i>The Consolation of Philosophy</i> is the last example of purely literary Latin of ancient times&#151;a mingling of alternate dialogue and poems. His <i>Theological Tractates</i> are also included in this volume.</p> 209641 6 1973 Theological Tractates and The Consolation of Philosophy (Loeb Classical Library) total:9|5:4|4:3|3:2|2:0|1:0| 9 38 18 2 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Sat Nov 21 09:45:10 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 21 09:45:10 -0800 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 5 0 false Sat Jun 28 17:19:44 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 28 17:24:35 -0700 2008 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Tue Oct 27 10:03:27 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 10:03:27 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 5 0 false Sat Oct 10 02:58:58 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 02:58:58 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Mon Sep 28 10:29:15 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 10:29:15 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 5 0 false Sun Sep 13 06:03:15 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 06:03:15 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Sat Aug 29 15:48:19 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 29 15:48:19 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 5 0 false Mon Jul 27 06:53:52 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 06:53:52 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 4 0 false Fri Jul 17 19:01:28 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 19:01:28 -0700 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Mon Feb 09 08:17:30 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 08:17:30 -0800 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 3 0 false Mon Jan 26 22:30:02 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 22:30:02 -0800 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Thu Jan 08 13:52:19 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 08 13:52:19 -0800 2009 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Wed Nov 12 22:38:12 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 12 22:38:12 -0800 2008 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Wed Apr 09 23:33:41 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 09 23:33:49 -0700 2008 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 4 0 false Sat Mar 01 10:09:10 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 10:09:30 -0800 2008 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 0 0 false Thu Feb 21 08:46:44 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 08:46:44 -0800 2008 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 3 0 false Tue Nov 06 07:33:35 -0800 2007 Wed Oct 24 11:31:06 -0700 2007 Wed Oct 24 11:31:17 -0700 2007 216537 0674990838 9780674990838 9 2 4.22 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216537.Theological_Tractates_and_The_Consolation_of_Philosophy 4 0 false Tue Mar 13 01:38:47 -0700 2007 Tue Mar 13 01:38:47 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=216537
