Olga Kapeliuk Awarded the British Academy

Edward Ullendorff Medal

The Edward Ullendorff Medal of the British Academy ‘for scholarly distinction
and achievements in the field of Semitic Languages and Ethiopian Studies’, estab-
lished thanks to the generous support of Edward Ullendorff’s widow, Dina, was
awarded in 2021 to Professor Olga Kapeliuk (Professor emeritus of Linguistics and
African Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) for her significant contribu-
tions to the field of Ethiopian Semitic languages over the course of her career

In memoriam Getatchew Haile (1931–2021)

ALESSANDRO BAUSI, Universität Hamburg

Obituaries and statements concerning the passing away of the great scholar
Getatchew Haile (b.19 April 1931 Yärä Kärräyu, Šänkora, Ethiopia, d.10 June
2021 New York) have been published on media by his family and the Hill Mu-
seum and Manuscript Library (HMML) at Collegeville, Minnesota, the institu-
tion where he had worked since 1976.1 He was regents professor of Medieval
Studies at Saint John’s University, Collegeville, Minnesota, and curator of the
Ethiopia Study Center at HMML, corresponding member of the British Acade-
my, MacArthur fellow, recipient of the Edward Ullendorff Medal, and definitely
one of the most brilliant and knowledgeable scholars in Ethiopian studies ever.
The task of this short note is not that of repeating what can be more precisely
and appropriately reported by closer sources, but to express the modest tribute of

 Alessandro Bausi

the Ethiopian studies community of the Hiob Ludolf Centre for Ethiopian and
Eritrean Studies at Universität Hamburg to Getatchew Haile’s memory and
scholarly contribution. For this, Aethiopica offers a revised and updated version
of a bibliography of his writings to obtain a greater appreciation of the breadth
and impact of his work.2 This bibliography is far from complete, as it comprises
only a few of Getatchew Haile’s writings that appeared in non-scholarly jour-
nals, particularly in Amharic. Yet, we remain confident that it can be of valuable
service. A tentative list of reviews of his writings is also included.
To add a personal note, I did not have many opportunities to meet Getatchew
Haile in person. Due to a great many commitments and a life spent commuting, I
was never able to reserve a few days to visit Getatchew Haile at the HMML
premises, with all its treasures, and the eminent Ethiopian Manuscript Microfilm
Library collection. This was made available to us, to the greatest extent, by the
doctrine, dedication, and unique knowledge Getatchew Haile offered to the ad-
vantage of all researchers marked by a generosity unparalleled in our field. As a
result, he opened upon a new era in the study of the Ethiopian written heritage,
and actually a new world. Never in the field of Ethiopian studies was so much
owed by so many to just one. I can recall a few occasions, at the International
Conferences of Ethiopian Studies (my first one in Paris in 1988) where it was
barely possible to come close to him, crowded as he was by so many colleagues.
But over the last ten years, upon moving to Universität Hamburg, I was able at
times to engage in an intense and much rewarding correspondence with Get-
atchew Haile, initiated by the humble yet tricky task of converting into Unicode
the many files of Gǝʿǝz and Amharic texts he had produced in the course of
time, which he passed on to me, and eventually used in his publications. I also
took on the not too simple task of publishing as many of the works and articles
he so prodigiously produced as possible, in series and journals I happened to be
responsible for (well beyond my merit). Even at this distance, I feel privileged to
have been among those who enjoyed, albeit mostly in the words of electronic
correspondence, his profound humanity and his extraordinarily vivid and pene-
trating intelligence.

2 A tentative list of his writings had already appeared on the occasion of his Festschrift: A.
Bausi and T. Rave, ‘A Selected Bibliography of the Publications of Getatchew Haile’, in
A. C. McCollum, ed., Studies in Ethiopian Languages, Literature, and History: Festschrift
for Getatchew Haile Presented by his Friends and Colleagues, Aethiopistische For-
schungen, 83 (Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz Verlag, 2017), 609–619. A few titles, corrections,
and English translations of Amharic titles have been kindly provided by Mersha Alehegne.
