Philotheus Boehner, born Heinrich Boehner (February 17, 1901 – 1955) was a member of the Franciscan order and a distinguished medieval scholar.[1]

History

Boehner was born Heinrich Boehner on February 17, 1901, in Lichtenau, Westphalia. He entered the Franciscan Order in 1920, and was given the name Philotheus,[2] the Latin form of the Greek Philotheos, ("friend of God"). In 1927 he was ordained as a priest, although he was so ill with tuberculosis he was not expected to live. While he was resting he began his work as a medieval scholar by translating Etienne Gilson's work on Saint Bonaventura. He became a close friend of Gilson in the 1930s.

In the summer of 1940 Boehner moved to Saint Bonaventure College (now a university) where he lectured on Franciscan philosophy, and it was here that he began to build the Franciscan Institute into a centre of international Franciscan scholarship.
