Description
Boethius composed the masterpiece while imprisoned and awaiting the death sentence for treason.
The Christian author had served as a high-ranking government official before falling out of favour with Roman Emperor Theodoric, an Arian.
In the Consolation, Boethius explores the true end of life-knowledge of God-through a conversation with Lady Philosophy.
Part prose, part poetry, the work combines Greek philosophy and Christian faith to formulate answers to some of life’s most difficult and enduring questions.
