Members may find the following website of interest:

https://boethius.mus.cam.ac.uk/

It contains images of almost all surviving medieval notated manuscripts of Boethius' De consolatione philosophiae, as well as a selection of reconstructions with explanations, and an introduction to the question of instrumental participation.  A series of videos by members of Sequentia explaining their approach to reconstruction will be posted on the site in coming weeks: one is already available under Instruments/Sequentia videos.

Many more resources are available on the site and discussion is always welcome. 

Enjoy!
