Walsh sort of makes sense in assuming that Philosophy was speaking about Wisdom, but the problem is that she doesn't say so. I guess Boethius never dreamed that someday his readers would need footnotes.

As for the first item, I never intended to suggest that your comments were in any way "half-baked." I was referring to the dichotomy which Philosophy herself is making between those "disciples" whom she includes among the "we" and the other "inept schools." Perhaps I am getting impatient, but I do wish that she would tell me how to distinguish between them. Just as a side thought, would she accept among her "true" disciples someone who was not persecuted, or is that part of the definition?

Maybe these questions will be answered in the next chapter. Like the cat who ate the cheese and sat by the mousehole, I wait with baited breath.
