Jos J.S. Weitenberg, Professor of Armenian Studies at Leiden University (1994-2009), co-founder and President of the Association Internationale des Etudes Armeniennes, 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-Stamme (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 Eusebe d'Emese. Commentaire de la Genese. Texte armenien de l'edition de Venise [1980]. Fragments grecs et syriaques. Avec traductions, together with Francoise Petit and Lucas Van Rompay (2011).
