PREFACE.

VIII

the definition of a bench original: scamnum. In Boethian geometry and surveying, this refers to a specific technical term for a rectangular plot of land that is wider than it is long.. However, these and other matters I will perhaps explain elsewhere. For now, I have truly wished to devote my labor to those who will study the works of Boethius; how much I have accomplished, let benevolent judges decide.

Written at Ansbach original: Onoldum, the Latin name for the city of Ansbach in Bavaria. in the month of May, 1867.
