Anicii Manlii Severini Boethii De divisione liber

John Magee, Ph.D. (1986), in later ancient and medieval Latin literature, University of Toronto, is Associate Professor of Classics and Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto. He has published numerous articles and Boethius on Signification and Mind (Brill, 1989).

'Magee's edition of this important though brief work of Boethius provides scholars with a model of how to handle a complicated textual tradition and exemplary honesty in admitting the limits of a recensionist approach when manuscript evidence provides sufficiently unyielding. Such excellence in textual scholarship is a rarity, but when this excellence is combined with matching excellence in translation and philosophical commentary, the resulting volume represents a lasting contribution to scholarship. Let us hope that this volume is a sign of further contributions to come. Timothy B. Noone, The Review of Metaphysics 58 (2004)
