In this study, I have an intention of making researches into <Anicius Manlius Severius Boethius> and his work <De institutione musica>, who introduced the musical thoughts and Greek scholarship of Ancient Greece's into the Medieval world. Much of his works served as textbooks and source materials in the Medieval Society. Especially, his great work <De institutione musica> was important for the study of music, which, throughout medieval times and much later, was used as standard text in almost of christian schools and universities in Europe. He could make a great contribution to establish the traditional thinking of "music" in Europe to be a "Scientia (Learning)". This time, as the starting study I would like to clear his career and the historical, social background of his Age, and to survey his work <De institutione musica> and classify its contents according to each subject in it.
