Unreferenced date December 2009 Boece is GeoffreyChaucer s translation into Middle English of The Consolation of Philosophy by Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius Boethius . The original work, written in Latin language Latin , stresses the importance of philosophy to everyday life and was one of the major works of philosophy in the Middle Ages . As well as using philosophy to understand and deal with hardship, it is also an attempt by Boethius to improve the minds of the people in 6th century Rome by introducing them to Greek philosophy. This seems to have been Chaucer s own motive for his translation although known to scholars the Consolation was not fulfilling its purpose of educating the common people. The Romance of the Rose , another literary work Chaucer is believed to have partly translated, actively encourages translation of the Consolation Where lewid men might lere wit, Whoso that woulde translaten it. Chaucer worked, in part, from a translation of the Consolation into French language French by Jean de Meun but is clear he also worked from a Latin version, correcting some of the liberties de Meun takes with the text. The Latin source was probably a corrupt version of Boethius original, which explains some of Chaucer s own misinterpretations of the work. Chaucer also on occasion dispenses with direct translation and uses his own interpretation, with the help of commentaries by Nicholas Trivet and Guillaume de Conches . The philosophical ideas of Boethius were important to many thinkers and writers of the Middle Ages, and Chaucer himself was not simply a translator but was also greatly influenced by his work.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Chaucer s Retraction is the final section of The Canterbury Tales . It is written as an apology, where GeoffreyChaucer asks for forgiveness for the vulgar and unworthy parts of this and other past works, and seeks absolution for his sins. Wherfore I biseke yow mekely, for the mercy Of God, that ye preye for me that crist have Mercy on me and foryeve me my giltes and Namely of my translacions and enditynges of Worldly vanitees, the whiche I revoke in My retracciouns as is the book of Troilus and Criseyde Troilus the book also of House of Fame Fame the book of The The Legend of Good Women xxv. Ladies the Book of the Duchess book of the duchesse The book of Parlement of Foules seint valentynes day of the parlement Parlement of Foules of briddes the Canterbury Tales tales of counterbury , Thilke that sownen into synne the book of the Leoun and many another book. It is not clear whether these are sincere declarations of remorse on Chaucer s part, a continuation of the theme of penitence from the The Parson s Prologue and Tale Parson s Tale or simply a way to advertise the rest of his works. It is not even certain if the retraction was an integral part of the Canterbury Tales or if it was the equivalent of a death bed confession which became attached to this his most popular work. Retractions, often called palinodes , were common in works of this era and the nature of some of Chaucer s works such as those dealing with the Church possibly needed forgiveness. The book of the Leoun seems to be an unknown work by Chaucer. With the retraction he manages to call an end and complete what is otherwise regarded as an unfinished work. It concludes as a prayer That thanke I oure lord Jhesu Crist and his blisful mooder, and alle the seintes of hevene, bisekynge ... per omnia secula. Amen.
