Forging Boethius in Medieval Intellectual Fantasies reconsiders the
influence of the thirteenth-century Pseudo-Boethian forgery De
disciplina scolarium on medieval understandings of Boethius (d.
524). Tracing the medieval popularity of De disciplina's reimagined
vision of Boethius alongside the current scholarly neglect of this
forged Boethian persona offers insight into how medieval schoolmen
saw themselves and the past, and how modern scholars imagine the
medieval past. In exploring this alternate Boethian persona through
a variety of different works including texts of translatio studii
et imperii, common school texts, the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer,
and humanist writings, this book reveals a new vein of medieval
Boethianism that is earthy, practical, and even humorous. Forging
Boethius is an essential reference book for students and
researchers in the fields of medieval literature and philosophy, as
well as for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of
one the most significant authors of the Middle Ages.
