Getatchew Haile

Getatchew Haile (Amharic: ጌታቸው ኀይሌ,

romanized: Gētachew Ḫäyilē; April 19, 1931 – June 10,
Getachew Haile
2021)[1] was an Ethiopian-American philologist widely
considered the foremost scholar of the Ge'ez
language[2] and one of its most prolific (he published
more than 150 books and articles).[3] He was
acknowledged for his contributions to the field with a
MacArthur Fellows Program "genius" award[4][5] and
the Edward Ullendorff Medal from the Council of the
British Academy.[6] He was the first Ethiopian and the
first African to win the award.[7][8][9]

Early life
Haile was born in the rural village of Tute in Shenkora
(part of the province of Shoa in the Ethiopian
Empire).[10] As a boy, he attended an Ethiopian Haile reading Ge'ez manuscripts in 2012
Orthodox Church school, where he learned Ge'ez
Born April 19, 1931
liturgical language and "devoted his energies to
Shenkora, Shewa province,
reading and understanding the texts."[11]
Ethiopian Empire
From 1945 to 1951, he attended Trinity School in Died June 11, 2021 (aged 90)
Addis Ababa. Haile moved to Cairo in 1952, and lived Mount Sinai Morningside, New
there through most of the 1950s, graduating from the York, U.S.
Coptic Theological College, Cairo, Egypt with a B.D. Nationality Ethiopian citizenship
in 1957, and from the American University in Cairo, American citizenship
with a B.A. in 1957. He then moved to West Germany
in 1957, where he received a Ph.D. from the Eberhard- Alma mater Coptic Theological Seminary

1962. The title of his dissertation was Das American University in Cairo

Vergleich mit den orientalischen semitischen University of Tübingen (Ph.D)
Sprachen.[11] Haile married Misrak Amare on July 12,
Occupation Philologist
1964, in Sidamo.[12]
Years active 1957–2021
During the Ethiopian Revolution in 1974, Haile, a Notable work Acta Aethiopica (1980–89)
believer in constitutional monarchy under the
Solomonic dynasty, became a member of the
transitional Ethiopian Parliament from Shoa province. Due to his vocal criticism of both dictator
Mengistu Haile Mariam and the Marxist-Leninist and Soviet-backed Derg military dictatorship,[11] the
Ethiopian Army came to Haile's home at the beginning of the Red Terror in 1975. According to the
Ethiopian Government, Haile was involved in a shootout while resisting arrest, but was eventually
wounded and captured. According to Getachew Haile, on the other hand, he was the victim of a
premeditated and unprovoked assassination attempt by a Derg death squad. After the BBC World Service
and Voice of America publicized him as a prisoner of conscience worldwide, the Ethiopian government
released him.[13] Through the intervention of friends, Haile was allowed to travel to London for medical
treatment. He was left as a paraplegic due to bullet damage to his spinal cord, and needed to use a
wheelchair for the remainder of his life.[14]

Academic career
Haile was associate professor in the Department of Ethiopian Languages and Literature, Haile Selassie I
University (now Addis Ababa University), from 1962 to 1969, and 1971 to 1974, where he taught
Amharic Grammar, Amharic Literature, Ge'ez Grammar, Ge'ez Literature, Arabic Grammar, and Semitic
Linguistics.[15] He was appointed head of the department in 1965.

After arriving in the U.S. in 1976, Haile joined Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota. He
eventually became a Regents Professor Emeritus of Medieval Studies and Curator Emeritus of the
Ethiopian Study Center at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library.[16][5] At HMML, he prepared
catalogues of more than six thousand Ethiopian manuscripts and trained Ethiopic manuscript cataloguers
in paleography, dating, and other skills.[17][18][19][20][21]

He was on the advisory board of a number of journals, including Comité de lecture of Analecta
Bollandiana (Journal of Christian Hagiography), Ethiopian Journal of Education, Journal of Ethiopian
Studies, Northeast African Studies, Ethiopian Register (1994–2001), and Acta Aethiopica (1980–
89).[22][23]

In addition to his writings and translations of a variety of works on Ethiopia and the Orthodox church, he
produced two two-volume books on the history and beliefs of Abba Estifanos of Gwendagwende, one in
2006[24] and the other in 2011.[25] His first translation, into Amharic, was of Mark Twain's short story
Extracts from Adam's Diary in 1965.[11]

The languages in which he worked were Amharic, Ge'ez, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, Greek, German, and
Coptic.[11]

Reputation
Haile's work has frequently been described as foundational to the field of Ethiopian studies and has won
many awards.[26][27]

Edward Ullendorff, professor of Semitic studies at the School of Oriental and Asian Studies, described
Haile's work as "highly significant" due to his "profoundly erudite" knowledge of Ethiopic language and
literature.[7][11] On another occasion, Ullendorff wrote that Haile's work represented the "most meticulous
and original study of Ethiopic literature" ever done, and "on a scale and depth never before
attempted."[28] He added, "no other person before Getatchew Haile has ever been able to survey so much
of Ethiopic literary creation and thus to gain so sovereign a command of this genre", which made a
contribution not only to Ethiopian studies but also the study of Christian oriental writing more
generally.[28]

The Ethiopian poet Amha Asfaw wrote a poem in Amharic for him in 1999.[11]

Personal life
Haile and his wife, Misrak Amare, had four children, adopted two more, and had many grandchildren.
Among his children are the material science professor Sossina M. Haile and the author Rebecca G.
Haile.[29]

Haile served as a confidante of the Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in the 1960s, as well as
the Church's representative to the World Council of Churches.[29]

Haile never returned to Ethiopia after leaving in 1975.[12] He remained critical of the successive
Ethiopian governments: in 2005, Ethiopian authorities charged him in absentia with treason for his
comments.[13]

Haile and his wife moved to New York City in 2016. He died at Mount Sinai Morningside hospital on
June 10, 2021, at the age of 90.[12] President Sahle-Work Zewde expressed her condolences to Haile's
family in a press release.[30]

Lectures
Haile gave a video lecture on the Täˀammərä Maryam, the Ethiopian Miracles of Mary stories, on May
23, 2020. Alessandro Bausi (professor, University of Hamburg), Kay Shelemay (professor, Harvard
University), Elias Wondimu (CEO of Tsehai Publishers), and Habtamu Tegegne (professor, Rutgers
University) spoke about Getatchew Haile's contributions.[31]

In 2018, he gave an Amharic-language interview for EBS TV at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.[32] He
also gave a video lecture at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library in April 2020.[33]
