Image description

After the Bible, the Consolation of Philosophy by the Roman philosopher and statesman Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius (called Boethius) was the most widely read book in the Middle Ages - a dialogue between its author, in prison awaiting trial for treason and the female personification of Philosophy. Discussing the problem of evil and the conflict between free will and divine providence, Philosophy explains the changeable nature of Fortune and consoles Boethius."The Boethian Wheel" is a model for the' belief that history is a wheel from which the great might fall and the poor may rise. Illuminated in Paris by Coëtivy Master (Henri de Vulcop?)
