Item description from seller

Apud Ioann. Blaeu, 1668. LEATHER BOUND. Condition: Very Good. In Latin. 1668 Apud Ioann. Blaeu (Amsterdam, The Netherlands), near-miniature 2 1/4 x 3 7/8 inches tall full leather bound, handsomely engraved title page with Lady Philosophy personified, [70], 3-212 pp. legible and clear. philosophical classic. The author of the rather lengthy preface to this 1668 Amsterdam edition of The Consolation is Petrus Bertius (1565-1629), a Flemish theologian, historian, geographer and cartographer. Bertius published much in mathematics, and historical and theological works, but he is now best known as a cartographer with his edition of the Geographia of Ptolemy (based on Mercator's edition from 1578), and for its atlas. The author of the Consolation, Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (circa 480-524/525 AD), was a scholar and philosopher born in Rome to an ancient and prominent family which included emperors and many consuls. His father, Flavius Manlius Boethius, was consul in 487 after Odoacer deposed the last Western Roman Emperor. Boethius entered public life at a young age, was a senator by the age of 25 and became a leading counselor to Ostrogothic king Theoderic, who ruled Italy from 493 to 526. In 523, at the height of his influence, Boethius was accused by fellow-senators of plotting against the king, imprisoned in Pavia and executed in 524. While jailed, Boethius composed this, his De Consolatione Philosophiae, in which he sought through philosophy to come to terms with the vicissitudes of fortune and the apparent triumph of evil. Written in Latin prose interspersed with more lyrical passages in verse, it takes the form of a dialogue between Boethius and philosophy, personified as a woman. It became one of the most popular and influential works of the Middle Ages. Several manuscripts survived and these were widely edited, translated and printed throughout the late 15th century and later in Europe.
