Full Description
Jos J.S. Weitenberg, Professor of Armenian Studies at Leiden University
(1994-2009), co-founder and President of the Association Internationale
des Études Arméniennes, was a scholar of global standing in Hittite,
Armenian and Indo-European linguistics. The twenty-three studies by
colleagues and former students gathered in this volume reflect some of
the depth and breadth of Weitenberg's scholarship: Hittite and
Anatolian, to which Weitenberg made a classic contribution with Die
hethitischen u-Stämme (1984), and Indo-European etymologies.
Armenian dialectology is well represented, as are contributions to wider
Armenian culture, and the reception of Greek literary culture in
Armenian. Further studies are devoted to digital preparation of critical
editions, the relationship between master and pupil as well as the
Armenian reception and interpretation of Biblical and apocryphal
material, to which Weitenberg contributed in Eusèbe d'Émèse.
