Book Description:
|
The classical and Christian worlds meet in Boethius (ca. AD 480-524), the last writer of purely literary Latin from antiquity. His Tractates examine the trinity and incarnation in Aristotelian terms. His Consolation of Philosophy, a dialogue between himself and Philosophy, is theistic in tone but draws on Greek, especially Neoplatonist, sources.
