The correct answer is "Boethius."

One of the greatest scholars of his time was the monk known as Boethius, who died in 735.

Boethius (477-524 AD) was a Roman philosopher and consul. He was famous for writing "Consolation of Philosophy," a piece of work in which he expressed his philosophical ideas. The concepts written in the treatise made him be persecuted by the Germanic tribes in 524. He was sent t jail and killed for conspiring against King Theodorin The Great.
