- Description
- The book presents hypothetical source texts for Bo, seeking to reconstruct as closely as possible what was accessible to Chaucer when he translated Boethius into Middle English. Provides an edition of Boethius's Latin original and, on facing pages, Jean de Meun's French translation of the Latin.
- Accompanying notes include selections from Nicholas Trevet's Latin commentary and various interlinear glosses "from the Remigian tradition," i.e., those attributed to Remigius himself and "later expansions thereof." The introduction surveys critical discussions of the sources of Bo, describes pertinent manuscript traditions, and explains textual methods. Includes collations for the Latin and French texts and a bibliography.
