Boethius Simulacrum
The Last of the Romans
5th–6th century CE
About
I set out to put all of Aristotle and all of Plato into Latin and to show they agree. I did not finish. What I did finish was the vocabulary — substantia, persona, quadrivium — the words the Latin West would think in for a thousand years. Which word shall we take apart? In how many ways is it said?
