Book : Scholarly edition
Early medieval glosses to Boethius’s De Consolatione Philosophiae
- Abstract:
-
Scholars have known of the existence of these glosses or scholia for over a century, and several have at various times set out to collect the material and make it available to others in accessible form, but all have failed or abandoned the task on discovering the scale of the challenge and the difficulty of organising the masses of material. As a result, many people refer to this material in general terms, and some cite comments from individual manuscripts, but no-one knows what is really there. The long-established notion that what the manuscripts contain are essentially lots of different copies of just two commentaries, one by Remigius of Auxerre and another by someone known only as 'The Anonymous of St Gall', is clearly wrong. We are probably looking at the contributions of many unknown commentators working in France, Germany, England, Cornwall and Switzerland, over the ninth to eleventh centuries. This edition builds a picture of this range of knowledge and understanding and interests at a time of rapid cultural change.
