New Developments in Boethian Studies
The Cambridge 'Boethius' is the result of the latest developments in Boethian studies, conducted by the foremost scholars in that respective field. The scope of the work encapsulates the entire man and phenomenon: to which the work is divided into two parts, the pre-Consolation Boethius and the 'Consolation' of Boethius, per se. Of course, it should be stressed that the study of the 'Consolation' is only a part and not the whole of this work. A chapter is given to Boethius' life and late antique philosophy, three chapters to Boethius the logician, three to Boethius the theologian, two chapters deal with the most poignant philosophical topics in the 'Consolation,' while one is given to literary interpretation of the text. The final two chapters deal with the transmission (philosophical and literary) of Boethius in the Middle Ages, as it was understood by his commentators, critics and admirers. In effect, the Cambridge 'Boethius' will have an enormous impact upon readers not looking for an introduction, but for a thorough, genuinely academic survey of the Roman West's last true heir.

No discussion on Euclid
It is absolutely amazing that a book titled "Cambridge Companion to Boethius" does not discuss the importance of Boethius for the transmission of Euclid, even if in a truncated form. How could they not discuss that?
