Fifteen centuries later, Boethius remains a figure of inspiration and fascination in his own right, and as a profoundly influential figure through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and beyond. In 2024, this memorial conference will consider that wide ranging legacy, hosted at the Symposium of Medieval and Renaissance Studies held annually at St. Louis University in June. The International Boethius Society has had a presence at the SMRS since the symposium started and is pleased to organize this memorial to the life, works, and influence of a writer who shaped medieval and Renaissance thinkers so profoundly.<br /><br />We look forward to this special mini-conference at the Symposium and will be providing updates soon on the featured presentations and sessions that the International Boethius Society is organizing for this event.</div>Kenneth Hawleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09051493818488943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544558710724200676.post-55900764070509334122023-05-18T13:13:00.004-07:002023-05-18T13:14:12.142-07:0058th International Congress on Medieval Studies (2023)<h2 style="text-align: left;">Boethius's <i>De consolatione philosophiae</i> in the Middle Ages</h2><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br /></i></span></span></span></span></h3><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><i>Sponsoring Organization:</i> International Boethius Society</span></span></span></h3><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><i>Organizer: </i>Philip Edward Phillips (Middle Tennessee State University)</span></span></span></h3><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><i>Presider: </i>Philip Edward Phillips (Middle Tennessee State University)</span></span></span></h3><div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><h3><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>Lindsay Ruth Ragle-Miller</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill), Fate and Fortune: Word Choice in the <i>Old English Boethius</i></span></span></h3><h3><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="line-height: 17.12px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Ricardo Matthews</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> (California State University - Fullerton), The Missing Song: Boethius and the Prosimetric Tradition</span></span></span></span></span></h3><h3><span style="line-height: 15.6933px;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 20.0304px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span></span></span></span></h3><h3><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><span>Matthew W.

Hawley<br /><br />Brepols and the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies published this reference work in 2019. It accounts for every English version of Boethius’s 6th-century Latin original, including not only the 24 complete translations from the 9th century to the 21st, but also 24 partial translations and a number of other spurious, mislabeled, or lost versions. The cover image on the book is from a 1695 translation in the collection held by the <a href="http://boethius.blogspot.com/p/center.html">Brian S. Donaghey Center for Boethian Studies</a>. Remaking Boethius is a testament to the late Professor Donaghey's tireless service to the International Boethius Society.<br /><br />For more on this volume, please see <a href="http://www.brepols.net/Pages/ShowProduct.aspx?prod_id=IS-9782503584676-1">http://www.brepols.net/Pages/ShowProduct.aspx?prod_id=IS-9782503584676-1</a>. </span>Kenneth Hawleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09051493818488943607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544558710724200676.post-34350660547020092282018-12-04T07:25:00.001-08:002018-12-04T07:25:57.715-08:00JSTOR Database <span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><i>Carmina Philosophiae </i>on JSTOR</span><br />

Problems in Interpreting the Prisoner’s Philosophy</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>Conference:</b> The Symposium of Medieval and Renaissance Studies<br />
<b>Location:</b> Saint Louis University, Saint Louis, MO<br />
<b>When:</b> June 19-21, 2017<br />
<b>Website:</b> <a href="http://smrs.slu.edu/" target="_blank">http://smrs.slu.edu/</a><br />
<br />
What makes a narrative Boethian, beyond mere inclusion of an allusion? What implications are there for interpretation of Boethius’s philosophy in a given narrative’s approach to incorporating <i>The Consolation</i> into its telling? When can a philosophy or theology which appeals to Boethius be deemed Boethian, and what degree of weight should we give to interpretations provided of Boethius by later thinkers, such as Aquinas in the <i>Summa theologica</i>?<br />
<br />
Given the wide variety of things which fit into discourse about Boethius (the liberal arts, theology, philosophy, narrative, and beyond), what is it for such a topic to be Boethian? Papers from scholars working in literature, philosophy, history, art history, theology, music and beyond are all welcome. Abstracts should be 300 to 350 words and sent to Anthony G. Cirilla, <a href="mailto:acirilla@niagara.edu">acirilla@niagara.edu</a>, no later than December 10th, 2016.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;">Something unusual happened at the Pembroke College Chapel in Cambridge, England, over the weekend: A trio of musicians performed songs that hadn't been heard in over 1,000 years. But playing the music, which came from the Roman philosopher Boethius’ influential work <i>The Consolation of Philosophy</i>, was not just a matter of just reading its notation. Rather, getting Boethius' work to the public's ear involved solving a decades-old library theft, not to mention the arduous process of deciphering the symbols representing musical notation in the Middle Ages.<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Read more: </span></span><a href="http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lost-medieval-music-performed-first-time-1000-years-180958892/?no-ist" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/lost-medieval-music-performed-first-time-1000-years-180958892/?no-ist</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>

The recent passing of our dear colleague, Brian Donaghey, is a great loss for Boethian Studies and for the International Boethius Society. As Helen, Brian’s wife, observes, he died “just short of his 75th birthday. Tragically young.”<br />
<br />
We will remember him officially in the next issue of <i>Carmina Philosophiae</i>, as well as in the dedication of our forthcoming Brepols volume, <i>Remaking Boethius</i>. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">The work of the sixth
century philosopher, Boethius, was extremely influential on the process of
fashioning narrative in the Middle Ages, especially his final work, <i>The
Consolation of Philosophy</i>. In the twelfth century, Alan of Lille, Bernard
Silvestris, Lawrence of Durham and Adelard of Bath, to name only a few, were
inspired to produce narratives which worked with Boethian themes, and writers
such as Dante and Chaucer wrestled with Boethian philosophy at the very core of
their narrative efforts. Recent work has been done by Bridget K. Balint, Elizabeth
Elliott, Eleanor Johnson and other critics investigating how Boethius
influenced literary production, and the goal of this panel is to further this
project. What strategies did writers employ to incorporate Boethian themes into
their narratives? How does <i>The Consolation</i> itself inform the medieval
conception of narrative and the process of inventing narrative? In what ways
did medieval thinkers perceive Boethian thought as creating or limiting narrative
possibilities, both in terms of the writing and the interpretation of
narrative? The International Boethius Society invites submissions of 300-350
word abstracts for 15-20 minute conference papers exploring such questions on
the subject of Boethian narrative from any medieval disciplinary concentration,
including literature, theology, philosophy, and history. Abstracts should be
sent to Anthony G. Cirilla at </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="mailto:acirilla@slu.edu">acirilla@slu.edu</a></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;"> by November 10th.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Many thanks to Joey McMullen and Erica Weaver, whose coordination with Professor Daniel Donoghue, Harvard's Department of English, and the Morton W. Bloomfield Fund produced a wonderful conference that featured engaging scholarship, stimulating discussion, and warm collegiality.<br />
<br />
The outstanding papers presented during the conference sessions were capped off each night by keynote addresses by Susan Irvine (University College London), Eleanor Johnson (Columbia University), and Ann Astell (University of Notre Dame). [below]<br />
