Girdle Book


The Yale "Girdle-Book," MS 84
Boethius, De consolatione philosophiae, England [?], s. xv.

This volume of Boethius’ Consolations of Philosophy, likely copied in England in the fifteenth century, was re-bound soon after as a “girdle-book,” to be read while hanging from a belt at the waist. (See the full catalog description.)
