Entirely faithful to Boethius' Latin; Relihan's translation makes the philosophy of the Consolation intelligible to readers; it gives equal weight to the poetry--in fact, Relihan's metrical translation of Boethius' metro are themselves contributions of the first moment to Boethian studies. Boethius finally has a translator equal to his prodigious talents and his manifold vision. --Joseph Pucci, Brown University

Joel C. Relihan is Professor of Classics, Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts. He is also author of The Prisoner's Philosophy: Life and Death in Boethius' Consolation (The University of Notre Dame Press, 2006).
