Featuring thirteen chapters by seasoned Boethian scholars, this collection explores the enduring influence and reinterpretation of the works of Boethius from late antiquity to the early modern period.

Drawing on rhetoric, manuscript studies, literary criticism, and intellectual history, the chapters trace the philosopher's evolving legacy through late antiquity, medieval scholasticism, vernacular devotional cultures, and early modern humanism. Contributors situate Boethius as a foundational figure whose works inspired wide-ranging intellectual, theological, and poetic adaptations. Four thematic sections collectively map how Boethian thought has been adopted, transformed, translated, contested, and reimagined by centuries of readers and interpreters.
