This bibliography includes the
primary works Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (c. A.D. 480-524/25) in Latin—and in English translation—as well as a
highly selective list of secondary works—mostly in English—on the life, thought,
works, and influence of Boethius. This bibliography, which is updated periodically,
is intended to serve as a resource primarily for graduate and advanced
undergraduate students in the humanities.
Those desiring a
more extensive listing of primary and secondary works—including a fuller range
of primary texts in Latin as well as secondary literature in various
languages—are advised to consult [in German] Joachim Gruber, “Boethius 1925-1998,”
