Boethian Commentaries of Clarembald of Arras

David B. George is professor and chair of classics at Saint Anselm College.John R. Fortin, O.S.B., is a Benedictine monk of Saint Anselm Abbey in Manchester, New Hampshire, an associate professor of philosophy at Saint Anselm College, and director of the Institute for Saint Anselm Studies.

". . . draws upon the scholarship of Fortin's previous study of Clarembald and provides for the first time a masterfully rendered English translation of Clarembald's glosses on Boethius's De Trinitate and De Hebdomadibus, about which Thierry had also written, along with helpful scholarly "glosses" in the form of notes. George and Fortin's edition rises to Häring's call and makes the case very strongly that scholars should reconsider Clarembald's place in intellectual history, not just as the writer who confirmed that Thierry authored his famous glosses on Boethius but, more importantly, as an important figure of his time and one whose views on Boethius were earnestly sought out by his contemporaries because of his reputation as a Boethian scholar." —Carmina Philosophiae"Well-grounded in the most up-to-date materials relating to Boethius and his medieval commentators, this book is of great assistance for the study of twelfth-century theology." —Stephen F.
