The International Boethius Society (IBS) is pleased to announce the promotion of Dr. Anthony G. Cirilla (College of the Ozarks) from the position of Associate Editor to the position of Editor (alongside Kenneth C. Hawley, Editor) of Carmina Philosophiae: Journal of the International Boethius Society, effective July 10, 2025.
Carmina Philosophiae (CarmP) is an annual, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of Boethius, his age, and his influence, now in its thirty-fourth year of production. It is published by the Society in cooperation with the Association for Textual Studies and Production and with the generous support of Lubbock Christian University. The journal features full-length articles, review essays, manuscript editions, translations, and book reviews. As of 2018, all back issues of the journal are available on JSTOR and EBSCO.
Dr. Cirilla, who earned his Ph.D. at Saint Louis University, is associate professor of English at College of the Ozarks (Branson, MO). In addition to serving most capably as the journal’s associate editor, he has published widely in Boethian studies, including essays in The Journal of the Medieval Association of the Midwest (2015), The Legacy of Boethius in Medieval England: The Consolation and its Afterlives, ed. A. Joseph McMullen and Erica Weaver (2018), and Carmina Philosophiae’s special issue (2023/2024) commemorating the 1500-year anniversary of Boethius’s death. That volume was the product of the mini-conference that he organized on behalf of the Society at Saint Louis University in conjunction with the Symposium on Medieval and Renaissance Studies.
He is currently completing a book on the topic of Boethius’s Christianity, Sanctifying Philosophy: Boethius and the Consolation of a Quiet Faith, which is forthcoming from Davenant Press.
