Reinhart Pieter Anne Dozy

Reinhart Pieter Anne Dozy , also: Reinhard Dozij (born February 21, 1820 in Leiden ; † April 29, 1883 ibid), was a Dutch orientalist and historian.

Life

Dozy had Huguenot ancestors who were rooted in the Netherlands in 1647. His father was the physician François Jacques Dozy (* December 24, 1793 in Leiden; † February 13, 1874 in Haarlem) and his mother Sara Maria van Lelyveld (* October 25, 1797 in Leiden, † December 6, 1828 ibid), which the daughter of Jan van Lelyveld (born September 18, 1755 in Leiden, † December 21, 1822 ibid) and his wife Geertruida Cornelia Clignet (born October 6, 1763 in Leiden; † August 28, 1836 in Zoeterwoude). He was related to Albert Schultens , Hendrik Albert Schultens and Jan Jacob Schultens through family relationships . After attending the food school in Wassenaar and a short time in Hattem, he went to the Leiden Pedagogy of Jan Jacob de Gelder (1802–1890) in July 1834 , where he was prepared for a degree. Dozy enrolled at Leiden University on September 23, 1837 as a student of literature.

Here he completed philological, historical and especially oriental studies, with Hendrik Engelinus Weyers (1805–1844) and Theodoor Willem Johannes Juynboll becoming his most influential teachers. In 1843 he answered a question about the price of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sciences for a lexicon of the names of garments among the Arabs, for which he received a gold medal on November 20 that year. This lexicon was published in Amsterdam in 1845 under the title Dictionnaire détaillé des noms des vêtements chez les Arabes . On March 1, 1844 he received his doctorate in Leiden with the work Historia Abbadidarum to the doctor of philosophy. He continued this work under the title Scriptorum Arabum loci de Abbadidis , of which three volumes were published from 1846 to 1863. On his honeymoon in Germany he met Heinrich Leberecht Fleischer in Leipzig . He also visited some libraries, including in Gotha. In 1845 he went on a research trip to Oxford . After returning to Leiden in 1846, he became adjutor of the Warneriani legacy at the Leiden University.

On January 2, 1850, he was appointed by royal resolution as an associate professor at the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Leiden, with a teaching position for medieval and modern history. He took up this office on March 9, 1850 with the introductory speech Over den gunstigen invloed, dien de omwentelingen in Frankrijk, sedert 1789, hebben uitgeoefend op de studie der middeleeuwsche geschiedenis (About the favorable influence that the environmental tongues in France, since 1789, on have applied the study of the history of the Middle Ages). On June 24, 1857, he became a full professor in the field already carried out. As such, he also participated in the organizational tasks of the university and was Rector of the Alma Mater in 1868/69 . He resigned this office with the rector's speech Oratio de causis cur Mohammedanorum cultura et humanitas prae ea quae Christianorum est imminuta et corrupta sit .

Dozy had a thorough knowledge of most Semitic languages (particularly Arabic) and spoke and wrote almost all European languages ​​with equal dexterity. His research on the history of the Middle Ages touched on diverse topics in different countries. The history of the Moors, Histoire des Musulmans d'Espagne , filled with a truly critical spirit, is Dozy's major work, through which an important part of world history was brought to the light of historical truth for the first time. Dozy later began to provide very thankful additions to the previous Arabic dictionaries from Spanish-Arabic and the vernacular.

Dozy received many honorable appointments in the international learned societies of his time. On March 15, 1851 he became a corresponding member of the Real Academia de la Historia in Madrid, in 1848 he became a corresponding member of the institute and in 1855 a full member of the successor organization of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam . In 1866 he became a corresponding member of the Académie des sciences de l'Institut imperial de France , in 1870 a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences in Copenhagen , on December 29, 1878 a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg , on April 24, 1879 Honorary member of the German Oriental Society , on July 2, 1880 foreign corresponding member of the Accademia is Lincei in Rome and on August 1, 1880 honorary professor of the Institución Libre de Enseñanza in Madrid. He also received important awards: on February 22, 1853, he was appointed commander of the Order of Charles III. , 1869 officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy , 1874 officer of the Order of the Oak Crown and on March 9, 1875 Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion .
