About this book
Chaucer rendered Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy into English prose, and this edition by Richard Morris dates from 1868 for the Early English Text Society. The text comes from a British Museum manuscript checked against one at Cambridge. Morris's introduction recalls Boethius in prison, awaiting death and comforted by Philosophy. The volume has an index of first lines, a glossarial index and an appendix of the verse.
