Über King Alfred's Anglo-Saxon version of Boethius De consolatione philosophiae

The Old English Boethius is an Old English translation / adaptation of the sixth-century Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, dating from between c. 880 and 950. Boethius's work is prosimetrical, alternating between prose and verse, and one of the two surviving manuscripts of the Old English translation renders the poems as Old English alliterative verse: these verse translations are known as the Metres of Boethius. NOTE: While Introduction and notes are in modern English, and a glossary is also included, the book does not contain a translation into modern English of the text of Consolation of Philosophy.
