The 'Boece' as Late-Medieval Translation

- A. J. Minnis, ed. Chaucer's "Boece" and the Medieval Tradition of Boethius (Cambridge: D. S. Brewer, 1993), pp. 167-88.
- Description
- Assesses Bo and its fifteenth-century reception in light of the "well-defined and distinctive" tradition of "academic translation," i.e., as a reflection of the late-medieval interest in semiotics and textual explication. Although Chaucer never applied the "finishing touches" to the work, Bo succeeds "in meeting the highest standards of academic translation."
