  • Boethius of Dacia; near-contemporary sources call him Boetius de Dacia or B. Dacus; his given name must be a Latinization of some vernacular name, presumably the one appearing in modern Scandinavian languages as "Bo"; "de Dacia" meant "from Denmark" in the usage current at the University of Paris during the years he spent there (he taught at the University as a master of arts in the 1270's); in older literature he is sometimes referred to as "Boethius of Sweden" ( (Ebbesen, Sten. Boethius of Dacia, viewed online on July 11, 2018 at the Medieval Nordic Literature in Latin website) )
