Boëthius of Dacia

Boëthius of Dacia (died circa 1290) was a Swedish or Danish philosopher active at the University of Sorbonne in France.

He was the most known proponent of Averroism, which is an interpretation of Aristotle founded on Averroës. He wrote several books in Latin, which have been collected in the six volumes of Boëthii Daci opera, printed in Copenhagen.

When averroism was banned in 1270, Boëthius returned to the Nordic countries and died in Linköping, Sweden.
