"The Consolation of Philosophy" (Latin: De consolatione philosophiæ) is a work by the sixth-century philosopher Boethius that has been described as having had the single most important influence on the Christianity of the Middle Ages and early Renaissance and as the last great work of the Classical Period.

Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius, commonly called Boethius (c. 480–524 AD), was a Roman senator, consul, magister officiorum, and philosopher of the early 6th century.

Translated into English Prose and Verse by H. R. James (1862-1936).
