Louis Leloir

Dom Louis Leloir, O.S.B., (1911–1992), originating from Namur, Belgium, was a Benedictine monk at the Abbey of Clervaux, Clervaux, Luxembourg. His preoccupations were with oecumenical relations, especially with Judaism, and with research into early monasticism, Armenian and Syriac patristics and apocryphal literature. Leloir was ordained in 1935, studied at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome, and was also at the Abbey of St. Jerome, Rome. He was granted his doctoral degree (''summa cum laude'') from the Biblicum in 1956 for his dissertation on the witness of Ephrem the Syrian to the Diatessaron. Provided by Wikipedia
