This complete work unites two of Roman philosopher Boethius's
finest works; his Theological Tracts regarding Christianity, and
his Consolation of Philosophy which concerns the nature of fortune
and dying. The works of Boethius emerged at the symbolic conclusion
of the classical era, and the beginning of post-Roman Europe. As
such they draw deeply upon extant classical traditions and the
religious significance of Christianity; the chaos and upheaval of
the author's time colors his writing in a fashion vibrant and
compelling. Venerated in Catholicism for his theological studies,
it was the philosophical ideas of Boethius that saw his popularity
endure for ages. Given his compelling life story - Boethius was
among the final Roman politicians to serve as a senator before the
collapse of the Western Empire - the author's writings gain an
additional, historic context. The famous Consolation was written
while Boethius was in jail awaiting what transpired as the death
sentence.
