Suggestions for revision and addition are welcome at Contributors to date include, besides especially Rega Wood and Girard J. Moreover if a work is cited from manuscript, only one manuscript is referenced even if there are other manuscript witnesses.Īpart from these restrictions, we have attempted, but undoubtedly failed, to achieve completeness. So the reader should not be surprised to find other citations of the same sententia elsewhere in the same work. I have restricted the references to one per work, unless special information is involved. The medieval authors and their works are listed in approximate chronological order. Some authors provide no attribution for their citation, or attribute it to someone other than Boethius. Subsequently I list the medieval authors I have found who refer to it. Listed first in each section is Boethius’ genuine passage, where I have been able to ascertain it. For each citation I have attempted to provide assistance by identifying as far as possible the ultimate source and the history of these traditional, but often obscure, appeals to Boethius’ authority. Clicking on the link will take the reader to further information.

Listed below are the most common of the Boethian sententiae. The various spellings, along with their declensions, include, besides Boethius, Boetius, Boecius, Boëtius, Booetius, Boeotius, and Boytius. A complicating factor in digital searches is the variety of spellings of Boethius’ name, particularly in editions from the Renaissance and by those who preserve medieval orthography. Pending the identification of a source or sources, however, editors will have some difficulty with these references. Boethius is one medieval authority whose name has been associated with several such sententiae, not all of which are easily verifiable or even authentic.Ĭonceivably many of these maxims originated together in an as yet unedited florilegium of the early thirteenth or twelfth century, or simply crystallized individually over the course of time. Many such references are elliptical, but have over the course of time become firmly established and oft-repeated. In the course of preparing medieval texts, editors normally attempt to verify the often imprecise references medieval authors provide for the authorities they cite.
