lassicists are often repelled by Boethius' inelegant Latin, awkwardly influenced by the Greek, and his- torians of philosophy complain about his lack of originality. While acknowledging the essential fairness of these two judgments, my pur- pose in this paper is to bring out what these commentaries, and espe- cially the ones on the Isagoge and the Categories,1 reveal about Boethius' working methods in his earliest works on Greek logic. I intend to deal less with the end product than with the road to it, and to point to the stages of development and improvement exhibited within these early works. [p. 367]
