Boethius 2024:
The 1500 Year Memorial Conference
In 524, Boethius authored the Consolation of Philosophy on the eve of his unjust
execution. Fifteen centuries later, Boethius remains a figure of inspiration and fascination
in his own right, and as a profoundly influential figure through the Middle Ages, the
Renaissance, and beyond. In 2024, this memorial conference will consider that wide
ranging legacy, hosted at the Symposium of Medieval and Renaissance Studies held
annually at St. Louis University in June. The International Boethius Society has had a
presence at the SMRS since the symposium started and is pleased to organize this
memorial to the life, works, and influence of a writer who shaped medieval and
Renaissance thinkers so profoundly.
For more information about the conference, please look at the Call for Papers.
The CFP deadline has passed, and submissions are now closed.
