BOETHIUS, Ancius Manlius Torquatus Severinus (ca. 480-524). De consolatione & de disciplina scholarium , Venice: Joannes & Gregorius de Forlivio, 10 February 1497. Super-chancery 2° (315 x 205mm), 96 leaves, double columns, 70 lines and headline, types: 130 (150)G; 90G; 68G, ornamental woodcut initials (occasional light marginal soiling, waterstained and a few small wormholes throughout), modern calf-backed marbled boards, spine ruled in gilt, red morocco lettering-piece. Boethius's most celebrated work and one of the most translated works in history. He wrote it while he was imprisoned on suspicion of plotting against Gothic rule. BMC V 351: "Four elegiac couplets preceding the colophon ... give the name CONRADUS in an acrostic. This, together with the phrasing of the colophon appears to derive the present edition from that printed by Locatellus for Scotus, ix. kal. ian., 1489 (IB. 22838) ... This book was reissued on 8 July, 1499, as part of a collection of Boethius's works." GW 4512; Goff B-768.
