Description for Consolation of Philosophy
Paperback. Translator(s): Relihan, Joel C. Num Pages: 250 pages. BIC Classification: HPCB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 221 x 142 x 13. Weight in Grams: 308.
Entirely faithful to Boethius' Latin; Relihan's translation makes the philosophy of the Consolation intelligible to readers; it gives equal weight to the poetry--in fact, Relihan's metrical translation of Boethius' metro 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
