Housed in a custom clamshell with a morocco spine label. "A stateman as well as a philosopher, Boethius was appointed Consul in Rome under Theodoric the Ostrogoth in 510. He was, however, accused of treason and his most famous work, De Consolatione Philosophiae, was written while he was in prison at Pavia before being put to death. It was highly esteemed in the Middle Ages." (PMM 34). Although there are allusions to music in several of his philosophical works, the core of Boethius's musical thought is found in his De Institutione Musica. There is no early separate edition of this treatise, but it is included in both the first (1492; offered here) and the second (1499) edition of his collected works. The importance of Boethius is twofold. This, though basically a synthesis, was the first work of musical theory written in the Christian West, and as such widely influenced musical thought right through the Middle Ages. It was the moral basis of his idea which gave them their novelty and their appeal. PMM 34.
