This small volume of unpublished writings by the late Prof. James McEvoy (1943-2010) appears to mark the tenth anniversary of his death. The various texts collected here, of many different literary types and for very different occasions, are marked by his typical careful and characteristically accurate style. The collection is as Prof. McEvoy left it, some pieces are more polished than others, the order could perhaps be adjusted but it is as it is. They do, however, capture the intellectual life of a busy and committed academic and priest. James McEvoy was a noted international academic in the field of medieval philosophy and theology, holding distinguished Chairs at Belfast, Louvain and Maynooth.
