The Consolation of Philosophy

PREFACE
2/6

It ought not to be forgotten.

Those who can go to the original will find their reward.

There may be room also for a new translation in English after an interval of close on a hundred years.
Some of the editions contain a reproduction of a bust purporting to represent Boethius.

Lord Preston's translation, for example, has such a portrait, which it refers to an original in marble at Rome.

This I have been unable to trace, and suspect that it is apocryphal.
