Allan B. Wolter, O.F.M
�9�3 - �006
Allan B. Wolter, O.F.M., one of the greatest scholars on the thought of Blessed John Duns Scotus in the 20th century, died November 15, 2006, nine days before his 93rd birthday. Father Allan enjoyed a long and dis-tinguished career as a professor, most notably at The Catholic University of America, and as a prolific author, editor and translator of medieval philo-sophical works especially those of Scotus. Occasionally, he also taught phi-losophy on the campus of St. Bonaventure University during the summers in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He also returned to campus in 1998 as the first Fr. Joseph A. Doino, O.F.M., Visiting Professor of Franciscan Studies. He retired from active academic life in November 2002, returning to his home province of the Friars Minor of the Sacred Heart in Saint Louis, where he joined his friar-brother, Martin Wolter.
Father Allan enjoyed great prominence in the international scholarly world, but was also a man of authentic Franciscan simplicity. When asked what attracted him to devote his energies to the works of John Duns Scotus, Allan replied that it was Scotus’ idea of the Incarnation as the supreme act of creation.
In November 2006, an anonymous donor, grateful for the exceptional education he had received from three friar-educators at St. Bonaventure University —Philotheus Boehner, O.F.M.; Eligius Buytaert, O.F.M.; and Allan B. Wolter, O.F.M.—established an endowment for the Franciscan Institute to honor their legacy: The Boehner-Buytaert-Wolter Endowment. The purpose of the endowment is to promote critical scholarship and teaching excellence at the Institute.

John Duns Scotus, 1308 – 2008
On 8 November 1308, the great Franciscan scholastic thinker, John Duns Scotus, died and was buried in the friars’ convent in Cologne (Germany). Building upon the intellectual heritage of his Franciscan predecessors in Paris, Alexander of Hales and Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, Scotus extended this peculiarly Franciscan approach to the philosophical and theological traditions of western Christianity in new and bold directions with unique emphases and implications. These ramifications became the foundation for an important alternate current of philosophical thought known through history as Scotism.
On the occasion of the 700th anniversary of the death of John Duns Scotus, international scholars from around the world will be gathering together to celebrate in a comprehensive manner the life, work and intellectual legacy of the Subtle Doctor. This gathering will take the form of a Quadruple Congress, comprising four conferences, treating four different themes, associated with the intellectual journey and legacy of Scotus: namely, Oxford, Cologne-Bonn, Paris-Strasbourg and The Franciscan Institute at St. Bonaventure University. The first conference, 18-21 October 2007, will take place at The Franciscan Institute where the critical edition of the Opera philosophica was begun in the late 1980’s. The edition was completed at The Catholic University of America under the general editorship of Dr. Timothy J. Noone.
