2011-10-03 17:11:43 (6807 views) Thanks to McSlavey for leading us to the resting place of Severinus Boëthius (ca. 480–524 or 525 AD). Boëthius was a philosopher of the early 6th century. He was born in Rome to an ancient and important family which included emperors Petronius Maximus and Olybrius and many consuls.
Here, we find a copy of his "De institutione musica", the first book to ever describe a unique and very familiar notation.
