- Description
- Transcribes the text of "The Boke of Coumfort of Bois," a Middle English translation of Book 1 of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, found only in MS Auct. F.3.5. Accepts the claim in the Bodleian catalogue that the translation depends upon Chaucer's Bo as its source, "modified and paraphrased and to some extent accompanied by a commentary." Originally transcribed, edited, and introduced by Noel Harold Kaylor, Jr., Jason Edward Streed, and William H. Watts in Carmina Philosophiae 2 (1993): 55-104.
