PRAEFATIO REDACTORIS
It is only right that I began this preface with a sad remem­
brance of our dear and much admired friend Fr. Leonard Boyle OP, a
member pieno iure of the Dominican Historical Institute, recently
deceased. Only a few months ago he had been re-elected as member of
our advisory board. The loss of his fraterna! presence and of his wise
and generous collaboration will be deeply felt among us for a long time.
I also wish to thank here ali those who have sent us their
publications or bibliographical data and other information on
publications relating to Dominican history from their countries or
linguistic areas. Their names, fortunately, form a long list which is
growing almost daily.
I would also like to take the opportunity to remind and
encourage the members of the Dominican Historical Institute, and ali of
our readers and contributors not only to send us their publications and
any news that they think could or should be included in this Bulletin
but to recommend new subscribers as well. This will benefit us in two
ways: the information collected in the DHN will be more complete, and
our bibliography on the history of the Dominican Order will reach a
wider audience.
For this number I have gone through the following periodicals,
Cuademos para investigaci6n de la literatura hispdnica, Ius Ecclesiae,
Lusitania Sacra, 1° Serie 1-10 (1956-1978); 2• Serie 1- (1989- ), Optantes,
Roma sacra: Guida alle Chiese dellla Città Eterna (1995-), Revue Mabillon,
Nouvelle Série, 1- (1990- ) (t. 62 de la première série), Studies in
Spirituality, and Studium Ovetense, noting ali articles of interest except
for-book reviews.

Con profunda admiraci6n y reconocimiento hago memoria en
primer lugar de nuestro muy querido e inolvidable Padre Leonard Boyle
OP, miembro pieno iure del Instituto Hist6rico OP, recientemente
fallecido. Hacia pocos meses que habia sido reelegido miembro de
nuestro Consejo. Su fraterna!, sabia y generosa colaboraci6n ha dejado
una profunda huella entre nosotros, y su ausencia se sentira por mucho
tiempo. Requiescat in pace Domini.
Doy las gracias a todos aquellos que nos han enviado sus
publicaciones o los datos bibliograficos sobre los mismos, asi corno
informaci6n sobre las publicaciones referentes a historia dominicana de
sus paises o zonas linguisticas. Afortunadamente sus nombres forman
ya una larga lista, que se va incrementando cada dia.

Recuerdo y ruego encarecidamente a los miembros del Instituto
Hist6rico Dominicano, a nuestros peritos y a todos los que consultan la
DHN que, ademas de enviamos sus publicaciones y todas las noticias
que consideren deban o puedan ser incluidas en nuesto Boletin,
recomienden nuevas suscripciones a la misma. De este modo se
obtendrian dos beneficios notables: 1. que la informaci6n recogida en
DHN sea mas rica y completa; 2. que se consiga una mas amplia
difusi6n de la bibliografia sobre la historia de la Orden Dominicana.
Revisadas las colecciones de las revistas: Cuadernos para
investigaci6n de la literatura hispcinica, Ius Ecclesiae, Lusitania Sacra, 1a
Serie 1-10 (1956-1978); 2a Serie 1- (1989- ), Optantes, Roma sacra: Guida
alle Chiese dellla Città Eterna (1995-), Revue Mabillon, Nouvelle Série, 1-
(1990- ) (t. 62 de la première série), Studies in Spirituality y Studium
Ovetense, resefi.o en este numero de la DHN todos los articulos
referentes a la historia dominicana, excluidas las recensiones de libros.

Avec autant d'admiration que de reconnaissance, j'ouvre ce
.nouveau volume en faisant mémoire du cher et inoubliable P. Leonard
Boyle OP, membre pieno iure de l'Institut Historique OP, récemment
décédé. Il y a quelque mois à peine, il avait été réélu membre de notre
Conseil. Sa collaboration si fraternelle, sage et généreuse nous
manquera douloureusement. Requiescat in pace Domini.
Je remercie tous ceux qui nous ont envoyé leurs publications,
des -références bibliographiques ou des renseignements sur l'histoire
dominicaine de leur pays ou de leur zone linguistique. La liste déjà
longue des publications ayant trait à notre histoire augmente sans cesse.
Je rappelle aux membres de l'Institut Historique Domninicain, à
nos experts et à tous !es lecteurs de la DHN qu'ils peuvent non
seulement nous communiquer des publications et des nouvelles, mais
aussi nous suggérer des nouvelles souscriptions. Nous en attendons un
double avantage: tout d'abord la documentation de la DHN pourra etre
plus complète, ensuite la bibliographie sur l'histoire de l'Ordre
dominicain obtiendra une meilleure diffusion.
J'ai relevé pour cette édition tous !es articles concernant
l'histoire dominicaine, à l'exception des recensions de livres, dans !es
revues suivantes: Cuadernos para investigaci6n de la literatura hispcinica,
Ius Ecclesiae, Lusitania Sacra, la Serie 1-10 (1956-1978), Optantes,
Roma sacra : Guida alle Chiese della Città Eterna (1995-), Revue Mabillon,

NECROLOGIUM
1. Michael Prendergast. Born in Cork on 6 Jan. 1923, he was
educated at the Dominican school in Newbridge, and joined the Irish
Dominican province on 14 Sept. 1941; he was ordained priest on 11 July
1948. He worked in Cork for a time, and then, for many years, in
Australia and New Zealand. Later, having obtained ali necessary
dispensations, he left the order and spent the last decades of his !ife as
a layman in the Dominican parish in London. He devoted much time
and energy to scholarly research into the !ife and works of Beato An­
gelico, but was unable to find a publisher for the book which resulted,
since severa! comparable studies appeared at the same time. He died
suddenly in London on 14 Jan. 1999. He was a kind and gentle soul,
and will be sorely missed by his wife and friends. Simon Tugwell OP.
2. Leonard Boyle OP. Born in Ballybofey, Co. Donegal, on 13.
11.1923, he was educated at the Dominican school in Newbridge, and
received the Dominican habit in Cork on 14.9.1943. After solemn
profession, he was sent to Blackfriars, Oxford, to complete his studies;
there he obtained the Lectorate in Sacred Theology, and then embarked
on a doctorate at St 1,;itherine's College, Oxford, being awarded a DPhil
in 1956 for a thesis entitled 'A study of the works attributed to William
of Pagula with special reference to the Oculus sacerdotis and Summa
summarum'. Having already been asked by the National Library of
Ireland and the Public Records Office, London, to investigate materiai
relevant to British and Irish history in the Vatican Archives, he now
moved to San Clemente in Rome. In Rome, he taught at the Angelicum
and, for a time, also worked as a member of the Dominican Historical
Institute. Although he continued to do some teaching for the Angelicum
unti! 1971-1972, his attention was increasingly focused on the Pontificai
Institute of Mediaeval Studies, Toronto, where he first went in 1961 and
where he eventually took up permanent residence unti!, on 24 May
1984, he was appointed Prefect of the Vatican Library. In that capacity,
he tried to improve conditions for readers and employees alike, both of
whom much appreciated his endeavours; he was also responsible for
bringing the library into the electronic age. He resigned in 1997, and on
14 July of that year he was nominated President of the Leonine
9
Commission. He died in Rome on 25 October 1999. His numerous
publications have been listed, first, in the acts of the Canadian
International Art History Conference held in honour of him and Richard
Krautheimer (Rome 1987), and then, more recently, in the Festschrift
edited by Jacqueline Brown and William P. Stoneman (cf. DHN 7 [1998]
290); but he will be remembered even more especially as the friend and
mentor of countless devoted students and colleagues. He had a rare
ability to winkle out the secrets hidden in jots and tittles and apparently
random squiggles and messes in medieval manuscripts, so it was natural
to turn to him for a professional opinion whether on the Beowulf codex
in the British Library or on the supposed breviary of St Dominic. His
generous willingness to share his knowledge and expertise, combined
with his warm-heartedness and his mischievous sense of fun, made him
a very special person.
Simon Tugwell OP.

sermones de S. Vicente Ferrer. Istituto Storico Domenicano di Roma;

Il 22 novembre 1399, Vicente Ferrer, lasciava Avignone per
dedicarsi esclusivamente alla vita apostolica. L'occasione del sesto
centenario dell'inizio della sua straordinaria attività di predicatore ci
offre l'opportunità di considerare meglio la sua produzione sermonaria.
Il Prof. Don Josep Perarnau da lungo tempo lavora ad un progetto per
arrivare a stabilire un corpus ed un inventario dei sermoni del santo. È
nostra intenzione promuovere un seminario di studio che si terrà il 14
gennaio 2000, alle ore 17.00, preso la sede della Chiesa Nazionale di
Spagna in Roma, Via Giulia 151, I-00186 Roma.
