Author: Anicius Boethius Translated and Edited by Scott Goins

Written in the sixth century, The Consolation of Philosophy was one of the most popular and influential works of the Middle Ages.

$12.50

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.
