Boethius

Just in case anyone was having trouble staying calm in the face of such excitement, I thought I'd better say that I have to delay posting the extra help for the Boethius. It will come today, just later in the afternoon.

Philosophy visits Boethius. On the right is Fortune with her wheel, which symbolizes the fickle nature of fate: sometimes one is rising in the world or on the top, and at other times one is falling or is at the bottom. Note that Philosophy is playing a viol: music was one of the seven liberal arts advocated by Boethius. By the Coëtivy Master (Paris) about 1460 - 1470.
