Editing Syllogism (section)

====Boethius====

[[Boethius]] (c. 475–526) contributed an effort to make the ancient Aristotelian logic more accessible. While his Latin translation of ''[[Prior Analytics]]'' went primarily unused before the 12th century, his textbooks on the categorical syllogism were central to expanding the syllogistic discussion. Rather than in any additions that he personally made to the field, Boethius' logical legacy lies in his effective transmission of prior theories to later logicians, as well as his clear and primarily accurate presentations of Aristotle's contributions.
