==Biography==
Boehner was born Heinrich Boehner on February 17, 1901, in [[Lichtenau]], [[Westphalia]]. He entered the Franciscan Order in 1920, and was given the name ''{{lang|la|Philotheus}}'',<ref name="Damico">{{citeCite book |last=Damico |first=Helen |title=Medieval Scholarship : Philosophy and the arts}}</ref> the Latin form of the Greek ''{{lang|el-Latn|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 resting, he began his work as a medieval scholar by translating [[Étienne Gilson]]'s work on [[Saint Bonaventura]]. He became a close friend of Gilson in the 1930s.
 
In the summer of 1940 Boehner moved to [[St. Bonaventure University|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 centrecenter of international Franciscan scholarship.
 
==Works==
As a result of his work and influence, a large output of scholarly publications were issued from the Franciscan Institute (more than thirty volumes from 1944&ndash;55, divided into five series—[[Philosophy]], [[Theology]], Texts, History, and [[Missiology]]).
 
Probably his most enduring work is the [[critical edition]] of [[William of Ockham]]'s ''Opera omnia theologica et philosophica'', which he produced with Professor [[Ernest Moody]].<ref name="OP">{{citeCite web |title=Philotheus Boehner |url=httphttps://openlibrary.org/a/OL842460A/Philotheus-Boehner|title=Philotheus Boehner <nowiki>[edit]</nowiki>|publisher=Open Library |accessdate=5 July 2009-07-05}}</ref>
