Book Overview
John Bracegirdle's Psychopharmacon presents a new translation of Boethius's influential "De Consolatione Philosophiae" from MS BL Additional 11401. This edition offers valuable insights into the reception and interpretation of Boethius's work in the early modern period, specifically through the lens of John Bracegirdle's unique engagement with the text. Bracegirdle's translation provides a fascinating example of how classical philosophical ideas were adapted and reinterpreted within a 17th-century intellectual context.
The volume includes a critical introduction, the edited Latin text, Bracegirdle's English translation, and detailed notes. This book will be of interest to scholars of medieval literature, philosophy, and the history of translation.
