TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE
In the poem "In Etesiam Lachrymantem" (page 221) the initial letter of the final line is missing in all extant editions; it is shown as a question-mark. In the Boethius translation Lib. IV.
Metrum VI. (page 230), the letter 'y' has been added to make line
9/10 read "...though they/See other stars..." although it is missing in all available editions.
At many points a period, comma or hyphen seems to be omitted in the original. Obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Where missing punctuation is not clearly an error, or the omission is harmless to the sense, the text remains as in the original.
Footnotes in the original appear on the page where they are referenced and are numbered from 1 on each page. In this edition footnotes are numbered consecutively throughout the book and are grouped following each chapter or poem to which they refer. A footnote reference is linked to the note text, and the text links back to the reference.
