This is a critical edition of one of the many medieval French translations of Boethius' 'Consolatio philosophiae'. The base manuscript is Paris, Bibliothèque nationale, fr. 1096. The original text dates from ca. 1330 and was composed in the south of Lorraine. The Introduction examines the original dialect and that of each manuscript as well as some of the translation techniques adopted. It is a quite clear and accurate translation, with few omissions or additions. It was consulted by at least two subsequent translators of the 'Consolatio'. The philosophical and dialectal vocabulary presents a certain interest. The edition includes two glossaries, one relating to the edited text, the other to the vocabulary of the variants (three other manuscripts).

Klappentext

The book series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für romanische Philologie, founded by Gustav Gröber in 1905, is among the most renowned publications in Romance Studies. It covers the entire field of Romance linguistics, including the national languages as well as the lesser studied Romance languages.

The editors welcome submissions of high-quality monographs and collected volumes on all areas of linguistic research, on medieval literature and on textual criticism. The publication languages of the series are French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian as well as German and English. Each collected volume should be as uniform as possible in its contents and in the choice of languages.
