Bibi Falsafa na Boesyo kutoka Consolatio, (Ghent, 1485).

Maarufu kwa elimu na kwa maandishi yake, alimtumikia Mungu kwa uaminifu hadi kifodini chake ^[4].

Maisha

Aliishi na kufanya kazi chini ya utawala wa Waostrogoti walioteka Italia na kumaliza Dola la Roma miaka 4 kabla hajazaliwa.

Hatimaye mfalme Theodoriki Mkuu aliagiza auawe mwaka 524 kwa tuhuma ya kufanya njama ya kumuua.^[5]

Akiwa gerezani, Boesyo aliandika kitabu chake bora, De Consolatione Philosophiae ("Faraja ya Falsafa"), ambacho ni kati ya vile vilivyoathiri zaidi Karne za Kati^[6].

Heshima baada ya kifo

Kaburi la Boesyo ndani ya kanisa la San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro, Pavia.

Tangu mwaka 1883 Kanisa Katoliki linamheshimu Boesyo kama mtakatifu mfiadini.^[7]

Papa Benedikto XVI alifafanua umuhimu wa Boesyo kwa Wakristo wa leo kwa kuhusianisha mafundisho yake na uelewa wa Maongozi ya Mungu. ^[8]

Sikukuu yake huadhimishwa tarehe 23 Oktoba.^[9]
