The
twenty studies collected here reflect three particular aspects of
Leonard Boyle's remarkable impact on teaching and scholarship. His
abiding interest in the early history and architecture of the basilica
of San Clemente in Rome forms the focus of Part I; his profound
contribution to the theory and practice of palaeography is reflected in
Part II; and his creative work on clerical education, pastoral
care, and the Dominican Order, inspires Part III. In all these areas,
Fr Boyle combined remarkable attention to detail with the humane
ability to bring clarity to complex issues. This book commemorates his
inspiration, but also reflects his favourite maxim, derived from the
twelfth-century teacher-theologian, Hugh of St-Victor, to 'Learn
everything', for 'afterwards you will find that nothing is
superfluous.' The fourth section is devoted to Fr Leonard as friend,
scholar, and Prefect of the Vatican Library, and it ends, fittingly,
with what may be regarded as his own scholarly valediction, 'St Thomas
Aquinas and the Third Millennium'.
