Is this ok for copyright? —unsigned comment by 213.187.39.241 (talk) 10:51, 13 December 2005.

Reply: It is "Public Domain" and the original modern text, before being grammatically modernized and before having a new introduction penned, is taken from this site, which says it is in the public domain: http://oll.libertyfund.org/Home3/Book.php?recordID=0686 —unsigned comment by Kozushi (talk) 05:06, 19 December 2005.

How come if I try to find this book by typing "Lays of Boethius" in the search panel at left, the search comes up empty??? This is odd, since the entry clearly exists and I can link to it from the Wikipedia entry of the same title?!—unsigned comment by Kozushi (talk) 23 December 2005.

The link above doesn't really show the book "The consolation of Philosophy", which contains this text. The exact place where you find the text is: http://oll.libertyfund.org/?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=1178&chapter=78842&layout=html&Itemid=27 . The year of publishing(of the translation by King Alfred) is 1900 acording to this site. So, the license is PD-old-100 anyways.--Demoeconomist (talk) 13:04, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Introduction

The introduction is too long. I humble think it should be moved to the discussion page.Hillgentleman 18:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
