NOTES

Boyer's chief interest, in which she became a leading authority, was in the history and development of "insular script" in Latin manuscripts of the 8th to the 10th centuries. Also among her specialties were medieval Latin and palaeography. Her edition of Abelard's "Sic et Non" combined various opinions on doctrine, but made no attempt to reconcile the various views.
