John Boswell read and translated fourteen ancient and modern languages, became a Yale Professor by age thirty and was granted full access to the highly classified and restricted Vatican archives from which he researched four award winning books, making him a world renowned expert in Medieval History and Linguistics. Boswell was also openly gay without apology in an era that was neither tolerant nor accepting. "Not a Tame Lion" offers the first-hand accounts of Boswell's closest friends, students, colleagues and family members as they recount his life, his works and his final days during which he all while privately battled the debilitating effects of AIDS.
