Maximus Planudes and Boethius' Byzantine Reception:

Boethius Ortaçağ Batı'sında etkili bir kişi olmasına rağmen Doğu Bizans söz konusu olduğunda Boethius'un fikirleri Batılı alimlerce çoklukla ihmal edilmiştir. Bu makalede Boethius'un Bizans'a bakışı Maximus Planudes'un "Boethius'un Hayatı" isimli eserinde yansıtıldığı yönleriyle incelenmektedir. Maximus Planudes Boethius'un "Felsefe'nin Tesellisi" isimli eserini 14. yüzyılda Yunancaya çeviren ilk Bizanslı alimdir. Bu esere Planudes "Boethius'un Hayatı" isimli bir de önsöz eklemiştir. Bu makalede Planudes'un "Boethius'un Hayatı" isimli önsözünün ilk İngilizce tercümesi verilerek, Boethius hakkında Bizans alemine ulaşan bilgiler değerlendirilmekte ve Planudes'in Boethius'un Bizans ve özellikle kilise tarihi ile ilgili fikirlerini benimsediği görüşü savunulmaktadır. En sonda da Planudes'un eseri ile ilgili yapılan çalışmaların özet ve analizi yapılarak bu eserin literatürde nasıl görüldüğü sunulmaktadır

Maximus Planudes ve Boethius'un Bizans'a Bakışı: Boethius'un Hayatı

Boethius was an influential figure in the medieval West; however, his reception is often overlooked in scholarship concerning the Byzantine East. In this paper, I investigate the Byzantine reception of Boethius as seen in Maximus Planudes' ???? ??????? (Life of Boethius). Maximus Planudes was the first Byzantine scholar to translate Boethius' De Consolatio Philosophia (The Consolation of Philosophy) into Greek, which he wrote in the early 14th-century, and the ???? ??????? prefaced his monumental Greek translation. In this paper, translator Sean Tandy and I provide the first-ever English translation of Planudes' ???? ???????. Then, I will flesh out what facts about Boethius travelled to the late Byzantine world. I argue that Planudes portrays and emphasizes the Byzantine aspects of Boethius in his ???? ???????, particularly concerning Church History. Finally, I also provide an updated summary and analysis of Planudes' manuscripts, which demonstrate the material reception of his work
