Abstract

This inexpensive book is an important addition to English translations of significant Latin medieval philosophical works. Boethius of Dacia for centuries has had the reputation of being, along with Siger of Brabant, a leading Averroist at the University of Paris about 1270. It is now known that Boethius was from Denmark, but not much is known about his life. It is possible that he became a Dominican in later life. The introduction to these works by Father Wippel is excellent, as is the bibliography appended to these treatises.
