The surviving Anglo-Saxon versions of the "De Consolatione Philosophiae" of Boethius are contained in two parchment manuscripts, MS. Cotton Otho A.vi, in the British Museum, dating from the second half of the tenth century, and MS. Bodley 180, in the Bodleian Library, dating from the beginning of the twelfth century, and in a paper transcript, MS. Junius 12, in the Bodleian Library, made from the two parchment manuscripts by Franciscus Junius in the latter part of the seventeenth century.
