	Boethius biography
		Boethius was one of the main sources of material for the quadrivium, an educational course introduced into monasteries consisting of four topics: arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and the theory of music.
		On this last topic Boethius wrote on the relation of music to science, suggesting that the pitch of a note one hears is related to the frequency of sound.
		It was a project that Boethius was never to finish, in particular he died before he could translate Plato's work and fulfil his aim of harmonising the two philosophies.

	Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boethius was born to a patrician family, with his father's line including two popes and several Roman emperors, and his mother's line also including emperors.
		Boethius also wrote a commentary on the Isagoge by Porphyry, in which he discusses the nature of the species: whether they are subsistent entities which would exist whether anyone thought of them, or whether they exist as ideas alone.
		Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy is one of the founding pillars for the skewed worldview of Ignatius J. Reilly, the protagonist of John Kennedy Toole's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, A Confederacy of Dunces (published 1980).

	Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
		The local cult of Boethius at Pavia was sanctioned when, in 1883, the Sacred Congregation of Rites confirmed the custom prevailing in that diocese of honouring St. Severinus Boethius, on the 23rd of October.
		Boethius' best-known work is the "Consolations of Philosophy" written during his imprisonment -- "by far the most interesting example of prison literature the world has ever seen." It is a dialogue between Philosophy and Boethius, in which the Queen of Sciences strives to console the fallen statesman.
		Perhaps the medieval student of Boethius understood better than we do that a strictly formal dialogue on the consolation of philosophy should adhere rigorously to the realm of "natural truth" and leave out of consideration the lesson to be derived from the moral maxims of Christianity -- "supernatural truth".

	Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius - Britannica Concise
		About 520 Boethius put his close study of Aristotle to use in four short treatises in letter form on the ecclesiastical doctrines of the Trinity and the nature of Christ; these are basically an attempt to solve disputes that had resulted from the Arian heresy, which denied the divinity of Christ.
		Boethius openly defended the senator Albinus, who was accused of treason “for having written to the Emperor Justin against the rule of Theodoric.” The charge of treason brought against Boethius was aggravated by a further accusation of the practice of magic, or of sacrilege, which the accused was at great pains to reject.

	Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius
		Boethius has been called both "the last of the Romans" and one of the "founders of the Middle Ages." He is one of the most important "transitional" figures in western history, at the crossroads of the Classical and Medieval worlds.
		Boethius too sought through science an approach to a higher reality; he was concerned with knowledge for its own sake, not for the wealth or power it might bring.
		Boethius served Theoderic faithfully, though perhaps with the certain aloofness and disdain that characterized the attitude of the old Roman families towards their new kings.

	Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Boethius lived most of his life under the rule of Theoderic, an Ostrogoth educated at Constantinople, who was happy to let the old families keep up their traditions in Rome, while he wielded power in Ravenna.
		Yet Boethius seems to have become so engrossed in his role as an expositor of logic, not limiting himself to a single commentary on each work, and writing extra textbooks, that is hard not to see it as having diverted him, in any case, from his more grandiose scheme.
		Boethius the character is clearly taken in by this fallacious argument, and there is no good reason to think that Boethius the author ever became aware of the fallacy (despite a passage later on which some modern commentators have interpreted in this sense).

		Boethius was a Roman scholar and statesman, author of the neoplatonic work Consolations of Philosophy (De consolatione philosophiae).
		For political views he held, Boethius fell out of favor with the King and was charged with treason for defending a senator accused of treasonous activity.
		Franchino Gaffurio, for example, acknowledged Boethius in Theorica musice (1492) as the authoritative source on music-theoretical matters (though he did come to realize that ancient sources disagreed more than Boethius indicated), and Heinrich Glarean relied on Boethius in establishing a theory of twelve modes in the Dodekachordon (1547).
