This book was released on 1993 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaucer's translation of Boethius' work is related to medieval intellectual culture, with attention to Trevet's Boethius commentary. This collection seeks to locate the Boece within the medievaltradition of the academic study and translation of the Consolatiophilosophiae, thereby relating the work to the intellectual culturewhich made it possible.It begins with the fullest study yet undertakenof the Boethius commentary of Nicholas Trevet, this being a majorsource of the Boece. There follow editions and translationsof the major passages in Trevet's commentary whereNeoplatonic issuesare confronted, then Chaucer's debt to Trevet is assessed in a detailedreview. The many choices which faced Chaucer as a translator are indicated and the Boeceis placed in a long line of interpreters of Boethius in which both Latin commentators and vernacular translators played their parts. Finally, a view is offered of the Boece as anexample of late-medieval `academic translation': if the Boeceis assigned to this genre, it may be judged a considerable success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boethius's 'De Consolatione Philosophiae' holds a special place in the history of western philosophy and literature. The text, written in the 6th century AD, explores themes of fate, free will, and the nature of happiness through a series of dialogues between the imprisoned Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Chaucer's translation of this work in the 14th century offers a glimpse into the medieval reception and interpretation of Boethius's ideas, showcasing the enduring relevance of his philosophical insights. Chaucer's adaptation preserves the essence of Boethius's original work while infusing it with his own poetic style and wit, making it a unique and engaging read for both scholars and general readers alike. The blend of philosophical inquiry and literary craftsmanship in this translation highlights the interconnectedness of philosophy and literature in the medieval period, enriching our understanding of both disciplines. Boethius, a Roman philosopher and statesman, wrote 'De Consolatione Philosophiae' while awaiting execution. His personal circumstances undoubtedly influenced the existential questions and themes present in the text, adding depth and authenticity to his philosophical reflections. The enduring popularity of Boethius's work throughout the centuries speaks to the universal appeal of his ideas and the profound impact they have had on subsequent generations of thinkers and writers. I highly recommend Chaucer's Translation of Boethius's 'De Consolatione Philosophiae' to anyone interested in exploring the intersections of philosophy and literature, the medieval intellectual tradition, or timeless questions about the human experience. This book offers a rich and thought-provoking reading experience that continues to captivate and inspire readers across centuries.

Download or read book Chaucer s Translation of Boethius s The Consolation of Philosophy written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition offers you the first Modern English version of Chaucer’s only previously untranslated major work, Boece. Boece is Chaucer’s Middle English translation of the 6th-century CE philosopher Boethius’s The Consolation of Philosophy. For over a thousand years, The Consolation underpinned Christian understanding of Fate, Fortune, Free Will, and Divine Providence, and its ideas influenced Chaucer’s major works. While many editions offer a Modern English translation from the original Latin, this edition gives you an approachable version of Chaucer’s translation and puts you face-to-face with his phrasings and emendations. Here, the father of English poetry’s voice finally speaks up, so you can enjoy his poetic turns and even track where the language from Boece echoes in The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde.

Download or read book Sources of the Boece written by Tim William Machan and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boethius’s De Consolatione Philosophiae was among the most persistent and extensive influences on Chaucer’s writing. Its ideas appear in various works, including the Knight’s Tale and Troilus and Criseyde, while the so-called Boethian balades offer poetic renditions of small sections of the Consolation. Around 1380 Chaucer translated the whole of the Consolation into English, drawing not only on the Latin Vulgate Consolatio but also on Jean de Meun’s French translation (Li Livres de confort de philosophie) and on Nicholas Trevet’s Latin commentary on the Consolatio. Sources of the Boece will be particularly valuable for Chaucer studies, for it makes available for the first time copies of all Chaucer’s sources for his translation: newly edited, complete, facing-page texts of the Vulgate Consolatio and Meun’s translation, along with relevant extracts from the commentaries of Nicholas Trevet and Remigius of Auxerre and collations from the larger Latin and French traditions. The edition thus enables detailed, comparative studies of Chaucer’s use of his sources and provides additional material for assessing his understanding of Boethius’s ideas and how they figure in his other compositions. More generally, the very format of the edition will facilitate the study of translation in the Middle Ages, when writers worked not from standardized editions like the ones modern scholars consult but from variable and sometimes conflicting traditions. Chaucer’s procedures provide insights into medieval notions of textuality and vernacular authorship, issues that are perennial scholarly concerns.
