Who was Boethius of Dacia? A 13C Dane, not a Romanian, it turns out. Wikipedia: the toponym Dania, meaning Denmark, was occasionally confused with Dacia, hence the rendering of his name Danske Bo ("Bo the Dane") into Medieval Latin as Boetius de Dacia
Found in the most recent list of MSS @DigitaVaticana by @JBPiggin: Boethius of Dacia, Questiones on Aristotle's Topica.

Desiderius built 11C Sant'Angelo in Formis, this basilica on the site of a temple to Diana. Perhaps using the same stones, perhaps in an exterior style very similar to the pagan forerunner. Discuss: https://t.co/In8X8mqV9m
