Abstract

Angus Johnston KennedyAngus Kennedy died on 29 October 2021 at his home in Milngavie, Glasgow. He had become renowned as one of what could be dubbed the ‘Three Great Scots” – along with Kenneth Varty (though an Englishman, based at Glasgow) and James C. Laidlaw (Edinburgh) – admired by all students of Christine de Pizan for their pioneering work in textual editing, translation, criticism and/or bibliography. He also served our profession at the departmental and institutional levels, within the United Kingdom and internationally, in numerous pedagogical, administrative and evaluative roles with unflagging dedication and competence. In all of these capacities, he exacted rigorous precision from himself while demonstrating kindness, generosity and compassion toward others, whether in private conversation, at the conference table or in written assessments. He tended to avoid the limelight, but one of the principal ways in which Christine scholars young and old were able to meet him in person was during the highly successful 2000 International Christine de Pizan Colloquium at Glasgow University, whose every aspect and event he painstakingly organised, culminating in three volumes of papers co-edited by him and other colleagues in commendably timely fashion.However, many of us are unaware that his Christinian career began after his
