“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

The Consolation of Philosophy is a darned good book, especially if you’re feeling down. Like a few other fine works of extremely creative people, it has the added charm of alternating poetry with prose dialogue scenes. A great book for understanding the Middle Ages, because everybody who could read, would read it.
Here goes my attempt:
At Pavia, in Liguria, the commemoration of St. Severinus Boethius, martyr, who, famous in knowledge and in writings, while held in prison wrote a treatise on the Consolation of Philosophy, and even until death inflicted by the king Theodoricus, served God with integrity.
“At Pavia in Liguria, commemoration of St Severinus Boethius, martyr, renowned for his learning and script, during his imprisonment wrote a tract on the Consolation of Philosophy. He served God unswervingly until he was put to death by King Theodoricus.”
Notice that St. Boethius is playing the monochord . . . there’s another charming medieval illustration of Guido d’Arezzo teaching Bishop Theobald how to use one.
Greetings all! There is a wonderful (I’m predjudiced) new translation of The Consolation of Philosophy as an Ignatius Critical Edition just out this summer . . . completed by yours truly and a colleague . . . check it out!
