Amadeus (14th century)

·         Amadeus. Boethius Instructing His Students and Boethius in Prison: Two Miniatures from Book I of Boethius’ On the Consolation of Philosophy (1385, Glasgow, Glasgow University LIbrary)

* The text reads:

Carmina qui quondam studio florente peregi,
flebilis heu maestos cogor inire modos.
ecce mihi lacerae dictant scribenda Camenae
et ueris elegi fletibus ora rigant.

   English translation (by W.V. Cooper):

To pleasant songs my work was erstwhile given, and bright were all my labours then;
but now in tears to sad refrains am I compelled to turn.
Thus my maimed Muses guide my pen,
and gloomy songs make no feigned tears bedew my face.
