#LukeWadding, who put #PaddysDay on the calendar.

The day had been celebrated since the 10th century in Ireland. Per the Catholic Encyclopedia (1913), "Wadding kept the Feast of St. Patrick with great solemnity at St. Isidore's; and it is due to his influence, as member of the commission for the reform of the Breviary, that the festival of Ireland's Apostle was inserted on 17 March in the calendar of the Universal Church."

The only complete edition of Duns Scotus's work was created by a team in St Isidore's Irish College in Rome, headed up by #LukeWadding (at table, on right). The others are (right to left) #JohnPunch, #AntonyHickey and #BonaventureBaron.

I love this depiction of scholarly cooperation (fresco at St Isidore's, courtesy of @jdmccafferty )
