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 Brian S. Donaghey Center for Boethian Studies. Remaking Boethius is a testament to the late Professor Donaghey's tireless service to the International Boethius Society.

Vernacular Traditions of Boethius's De consolatione philosophiae Edited by Noel Harold Kaylor, Jr. and Philip Edward Phillips
Vernacular Traditions of Boethius’s De consolatione philosophiae provides an overview of the widespread reception and influence of Boethius’s masterpiece in England and Germany, as well as in the Netherlands, Italy, Poland, Catalonia, and Byzantium. As this volume demonstrates, Boethius is not only a significant Roman author, but also a significant translator and adapter of works written originally in Greek on logic and the mathematical sciences, placing him firmly as an important figure at the moment of transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages.
As the two introductory articles in this collection affirm, Boethius is recognized as “the last of the Romans” and “the first of the Scholastics.” Attested by the articles and the edition in this volume, Boethius’s influence today is global in its importance. Not only through the dissemination of his theological and scholarly works, but also through the many vernacularizations of his final testament to the world, his Consolatio.

A Companion to Boethius in the Middle Ages
Edited by Noel Harold Kaylor, Jr. and Philip Edward Phillips
The field of Boethian Studies has enjoyed a continuous history of works that treat either the entire Boethian tradition or major aspects of it. This volume offers a comprehensive study, and its construction is systematic, considering Boethius's works both as central to the disciplines that they represent and to the areas of scholarly interest that they influenced, and it is framed by articles on the historical contexts in which those works were produced.
