2A1r Thomas Aquinas [pseudo-: Prologue to commentary on De consolatione philosophiae.] ‘Prologus.’ Thomas Aquinas, Opera omnia, VII 121-2. On the authorship see Pierre Courcelle, La consolation de philosophie dans la tradition littéraire (Paris, 1967), 322-3, 414-15, also Nigel Palmer, ‘Latin and Vernacular in the Northern European Tradition of the De consolatione philosophiae’, in Boethius, ed. Gibson, 362-409, at 363 and 399; and Alastair J. Minnis, ‘Aspects of the Medieval French and English Traditions of the De consolatione philosophiae’, in Boethius, ed. Gibson, 312-61, at 354. This commentary apparently dates from the fifteenth century and is probably the work of a German scholar; it is a compilation with glosses of a version of the commentary of William of Conches being assimilated to those of Nicolaus Trevet; see Alastair J. Minnis and L. Nauta, ‘More Platonico loquitur: What Nicolaus Trevet Really Did to William of Conches', in Chaucer's ‘Boece' and the Medieval Tradition of Boethius, ed. Alastair J. Minnis (Cambridge, 1993), 1-33, at 9.
