The Wenceslas Bible was commissioned by a king who was deposed as King of the Romans in what year?
Wenceslas Bible The Wenceslas Bible (German: "Wenzelsbibel" ) or the Bible of Wenceslaus IV (Czech: "Bible Václava IV." ) is a multi-volume illuminated biblical manuscript written in the German language. The manuscript was commissioned by the King Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia (that time also the King of the Romans) and made in Prague in the 1390s. The Wenceslas Bible is unique and very precious not only because of its text, which is one of the earliest German translations of the Bible, but also because of its splendid illuminations. This oldest German deluxe Bible manuscript remained uncompleted.
Boethius Anicius Manlius Severinus Boëthius, commonly called Boethius (English: ; also Boetius ; 480–524 AD), was a Roman senator, consul, "magister officiorum", and philosopher of the early 6th century. He was born four years after Odoacer deposed the last Roman Emperor and declared himself King of Italy, and entered public service under Ostrogothic King Theodoric the Great, who later imprisoned and executed him in 524 on charges of conspiracy to overthrow him. While jailed, Boethius composed his "Consolation of Philosophy", a philosophical treatise on fortune, death, and other issues, which became one of the most popular and influential works of the Middle Ages.
