The most significant event in the period under review (Fall 2014-Fall 2015) was undoubtedly the publication in February 2015 of his latest book, entitled: Thomas d'Aquin et ses prédécesseurs. La présence des grands philosophes et Pères de l’Église dans les oeuvres de Thomas d'Aquin. In this 400 page book Leo Elders gives a detailed account of the way in which Aquinas used the main philosophical and theological sources at his disposal, starting from the ‘Platonici’ until Maimonides and including the Church Fathers Augustine, Jerome, and Gregory.
The summer of 2015 was almost entirely spend at translating the book into English, a translation which is currently under review with an American publisher.
Apart from his usual teaching assignments at the Major Seminary Rolduc, the Major Seminary of the Diocese of Haarlem-Amsterdam, the Institut du Philosophie Comparée in Paris, he taught at the Abbaye Notre Dame de Sept Fons and attended the annual session of the Pontifical Academy of St. Thomas Aquinas at the Vatican in June 2015.
