EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "A Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Scotsmen" by Thomas Thomson (1870) showcases the distinguished figure of Hector Boece or Boyce. Born in Dundee in 1465, Boece is renowned as a Scottish philosopher and an influential political figure of his time. The portrait captures him wearing a formal cap, exuding an air of contemplation and wisdom. Boece's significance extends beyond academia; he was a close friend of Erasmus, the celebrated Dutch humanist. In fact, Boece served as the first principal of Aberdeen University starting from 1500, leaving an indelible mark on Scottish culture and education. The artist has skillfully depicted Boece looking away into the distance, perhaps lost in deep thought or pondering over intricate philosophical concepts that shaped his legacy. This illustration not only serves as a historical record but also offers us a glimpse into the intellectual world during this period. As we admire this vertical print today, it reminds us to appreciate the rich history and contributions made by individuals like Hector Boece to philosophy, politics, and education. Let this portrait be a testament to their enduring influence on our society.
