Notker Latinus Zu Boethius, De Consolatione Philosophiae

Notker III, Labeo or Notker Teutonicus translated a number of Latin school texts by Boethius into Late Old German, including the Consolatio Philosophiae (CPh), and wrote explanatory commentaries on them, mostly in his mother-tongue. He used numerous sources for his translation and exegesis. This parallel volume 2A to the volumes of text 2(published in our series Altdeutsche Textbibliothek) provides the fruits of many years of research into the sources in the form of a commentary (Notker latinus) on Notker's version of the CPh. It is prefaced by a detailed index of abbreviations, siglia and literature, followed by a comprehensive introduction presenting both the sources themselves and the principles underlying the commentary.
