Author(s): Lidija Fekeža / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 34/2005

Nada Miletić, naučni savjetnik, jedan od doajena arheologije Zemaljskog muzeja u Sarajevu, Bosne i Hercegovine i šire regije preminula je u 78. godini života. Pripadala je izuzetnoj generaciji arheologa, stručnjaka Zemaljskog muzeja koja se pedesetih godina XX stoljeća, tj. iza II svjetskog rata, od 1947. do 1957.godine, postepeno formirala. U više od sto godina postojanja Zemaljskog muzeja, to je bio drugi sjajni period za njegov razvoj kao i za razvoj pojedinaca koji su željeli, znali i uspjeli iskoristiti tu okolnost vezanu za konstantan i naporan stručni i naučni rad. Mi, koji smo stasavali uz njih, sa današnje pozicije možemo im samo pozavidjeti.

Georg Kossack (1923-2004)

Author(s): Blagoje Govedarica / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 34/2005

17. oktobra 2004. godine u 82. godini života umro je prof. dr. Georg Kossack jedan od najznačajnijih predstavnika prve poslijeratne generacije njemačkih arheologa, generacije koja je u znatnoj mjeri doprinijela oporavku i rehabilitaciji arheološke nauke u ovoj zemlji, nakon manipulacija i zloupotrebe u doba nacističke vlasti. To je generacija kojoj su osim Kossacka pripadali ili joj još uvijek pripadaju Hermann Müller-Karpe, Rolf Hachmann, Vladimir Milojčić, Werner Kimig i dr. Georg Kossak i njegova generacija su svojim obimnim i vrijednim opusom takođe u značajnoj mjeri odredili pravac razvoja praistorijske arheologije u Njemačkoj i u širem dijelu srednje i jugoistočne Evrope.

In memoriam Igor de Rachewiltz (1929–2016)

Author(s): Ákos Bertalan Apatóczky / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2017

In the post-postmodern world it is a commonplace that the broadening academic horizon and mass production, along with the digitised publication of scholarly works, force researchers to engage in ever more focused and specialised topics and by this the classical type of scholar, the universal philologist is slowly becoming extinct. Yet those of us who have been lucky enough may still know some of the representatives of this sort of professors, and knowing their rareness makes it even harder to learn that someone of the already few ones passed away. Igor de Rachewiltz was undoubtedly a perfect archetype of the open-minded academician driven by a strong desire to make people – scholars and the wider public alike – understand his chosen field better. His letters written with his elegant handwriting, dated already in the digital age, take us back to a time when not only the information itself, but the style of communication was also a form of art per se, and thus they are now meaningful relics to those who were fortunate enough to receive some of them.

In Memoriam György Hazai (30.04.1932–07.01.2016)

Humanities in Hungary lose a benchmark of a scholar in memoriam Mihály Szegedy-Maszák

Author(s): István Dobos / Language(s): English Issue: 2/2016

Mihály Szegedy-Maszák, Professor Emeritus of Eötvös Loránd Tudományegyetem (Budapest, Hungary) and Indiana University (Bloomington, Indiana), regular member of Magyar Tudományos Akadémia [Hungarian Academy of Sciences], Academia Europaea (London), International Comparative Literature Association, and Nemzetközi Magyarságtudományi Társaság [International Association for Hungarian Studies], editor-in-chief of the periodical publication Hungarian Studies, recipient of Széchenyi Prize, and a scholar of international stature, passed away at the age of 74. His passing is a sad and tremendous loss to the entire Hungarian academic community. The lifework of Mihály Szegedy-Maszák is not only incomparably extensive: it covers an exceptionally long and exciting time period and several academic fields, which makes it particularly significant in our age.

JÁNOS GYÖRGY SZILÁGYI (1918–2016)

Author(s): Miklós Szabó / Language(s): Italian Issue: 2/2016

Morto a novantotto anni János György Szilágyi. La triste notizia, nonostante che ciò paia assolutamente irrazionale, ci ha colti impreparati. Per cominciare devo chiedermi se esista al mondo qualcuno capace di evocare la sua personalità proteiforme nella sua completa ricchezza? Il famoso storico dell’arte, Ernő Marosi, nel 2000, commentando le sue ricerche e la sua attività intellettuale ha menzionato i seguenti campi in cui egli si è cimentato: studioso dell’antichità e filologo, esperto di museologia, scrittore scientifico e divulgatore dell’oggetto delle sue ricerche, storico della letteratura, traduttore letterario, organizzatore di mostre. Altri lo qualificarono come etruscologo, per absurdum archeologo, ma si guadagnò lodi e apprezzamenti anche come storico delle religioni e semplicemente come docente universitario, anche se il noto poeta ungherese, suo amico, György Somlyó, sostenne che, nel corso della sua lunga e tortuosa carriera la carica di insegnante o professore non era rilevante.

На 86-м году жизни, 29 марта 2016 года скончался выдающийся славист, русист с мировым именем Александр Владимирович Бондарко, член-корреспондент Российской академии наук, заведующий Отделом теории грамматики Института лингвистических исследований РАН, профессор Российского государственного университета имени А. И. Герцена. Александр Владимирович был автором целого ряда научных трудов (их число насчитывает свыше 350), обращающих на себя внимание высокой цитируемостью в литературе, исключительно большим количеством ссылок. Бондарко, будучи молодым ученым, уже приобрел международную известность благодаря двум монографиям, посвященным русскому глаголу и содержащим нова- торские идеи (см. БОНДАРКО–БУЛАНИН 1967, БОНДАРКО 1972).

Author(s): András Zoltán / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

25 февраля 2015 г. скончался выдающийся венгерский славист, бывший пред- седатель Венгерского комитета славистов, иностранный член Болгарской академии наук, многолетний член редколлегии и многократный автор нашего журнала, доктор лингвистических наук, профессор Петер Кирай. Петер Кирай родился 22 ноября 1917 г. в селе Мальца (венг. Málca, словацк. Mаlčice) в семье реформатского пастора. Скоро после его рождения его родное село отошло к Чехословакии. Семья осталась на месте, и П. Кирай обучался сначала в местной начальной школе на словацком языке, а потом он окончил венгерскую гимназию города Кошице. В детстве и юношестве он постоянно вращался в венгерскословацкой среде, где усвоил не только стандартные формы этих языков, но и восточнословацкий диалект. Из гимназии П. Кирай вынес хорошее знание иностранных языков, в том числе классических – латыни и греческого.

Marianna Adameczek (1930–2017)

Author(s): Jean-Charles Szurek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 13/2017

Z nazwiskiem Marianny Adameczek zetknąłem się po raz pierwszy wiosną 2012 r., gdy zaczynałem badania nad zagładą Żydów łukowskich i poszukiwałem ocalałych z tego powiatu. Marianna należała do tego grona. Swoje okupacyjne doświadczenia opisała w relacji dla USC Shoah Foundation (Fundacja Spielberga), złożonej w latach dziewięćdziesiątych XX w. Jest to jedyny wywiad z tego regionu przeprowadzony w Polsce – większość relacji ocalałych Żydów z Łukowa była nagrywana po angielsku, w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Z jej opowieści wynikało, że Marianna mieszka na wsi niedaleko Kocka – lub mieszkała, nie wiedziałem bowiem wówczas, czy Marianna jeszcze żyje.

Shōgaito Masahiro 庄垣内正弘 (17. April 1942–23. März 2014)

Author(s): Peter Zieme / Language(s): German Issue: 3/2014

Nicht nur umfangreiche Bücher und eine Fülle von Aufsätzen mit stets neuen Texten und neuen Ideen bleiben uns immer verbunden mit dem Namen Masahiro Shōgaito, sondern auch Erinnerungen an einen bescheidenen, willensstarken und fleißigen Wissenschaftler. Nachdem er erfahren hatte, daß der Krebs ihm nur noch eine kurze Zeit auf dieser Erde gestattete, verließ ihn der Wille zu leben und zu arbeiten sobald nicht. Eine Zeitlang schien es so, als ob der Krebs nicht die Oberhand gewann, doch ihm selbst war es bewußt, daß dem nicht so war. So bereitete er sich auf den Abschied vor, in aller ihm gebotenen Gelassenheit. Im Dezember 2013 trafen sich bei ihm im Krankenhaus einige Freunde und Kollegen, und das war für mich die letzte Begegnung mit ihm. Mit Bestimmtheit sagte er, daß wir uns erst im Paradies wiedersehen werden.

Obituary Géza Fehérvári (1926–2012)

Author(s): Iván Szántó / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2013

Professor Géza Fehérvári, a world-renowned authority in Islamic art, died on 21 December, 2012, at the age of 86, in London. With him one of the last great historians of Islamic art passed away who shaped the field over its 20th-century course. The road he took to becoming an established international scholar was his own choice but the unforeseeable u-turns on the way were not. He may have received some early impulses towards this path through family members who were working at different industrial companies that supplied overseas markets, yet the real eye-openers were school-time excavations at the castle of his native town Eger.

Obituary In memoriam Werner Sundermann (22.12.1935–12.10.2012)

Author(s): Peter Zieme / Language(s): German Issue: 1/2013

Die Worte Jean Pauls stammen aus dem Titan. Ein Titan, ein Titan des Geistes, war unser verstorbener Freund und Lehrer allemal. Gewiß hätten ihm alle Freunde und Kollegen mehr als die ihm vergönnten Jahre gewünscht, doch seine körperliche Verfassung stand nicht im Einklang mit seinem regen Geist, der ihn bis zum Ende nicht verließ, selbst wenn er gezwungen war, seine Antworten im Gespräch aufzuschreiben. Und zu Ende geschrieben hat er seine Edition der Rede von der Lebendigen Seele, doch das gedruckte Buch hat er nicht mehr mit äußeren Augen sehen können. Ist es ein Zufall, daß er sich zuletzt der Rede von der Lebendigen Seele gewidmet hat? Am 24. November 2012 nahmen die Familie, Freunde, Schüler und Kollegen nach einer bewegenden Trauerfeier am Grab Abschied von Werner Sundermann.
