Severinus, a name that echoes through centuries and intertwines with various concepts and philosophies. In the realm of ancient Greece, Pythagoras and Boethius laid the foundation for intellectual exploration, paving the way for Severinus to emerge as a symbol of wisdom. Depictions of the Seven against Thebes showcase Severinus as an enigmatic figure, shrouded in mystery. Odoacer and the Monk Serverinus, from the 5th century, captivate our imagination with their tale of resilience and faith. Intriguingly enough, Jean de Meung chose to deliver his translation to Philip IV, King of France - a testament to Severinus' enduring relevance across borders and time periods. Even in Spain's Balmaseda lies Saint Severinus Church, standing tall as a tribute to this revered name. But who is Saint Severinus? Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius provides us with insight into this multifaceted character. Seeking counsel from Dame Philosophy in times of turmoil, he exemplifies strength amidst adversity. Artistic representations further enrich our understanding; Hendrick Danckerts' print portrays two lovers entwined under Cupid's watchful eye while Titiaan captures Venus herself alongside them. These images evoke passion and desire intertwined with philosophical musings. Boethius himself stands as a towering figure within Roman philosophy and statesmanship - his legacy forever linked to that illustrious name: Severinus. From C15 depictions to medieval manuscripts adorned with miniatures depicting Boethius seeking solace in Philosophy's embrace.
