Life

After studying Classical Philology , van Gemert received the decisive stimulus for his scientific path during a study visit to the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1966/1967 , where Linos Politis made him aware of the literature of the Cretan Renaissance and suggested that the two love dreams of the Venetian-Cretan poet Marinos Phalieros to edit the text. In 1973 he was with a dissertation on the subject at the University of Amsterdam in the Byzantine scholars and Neogräzisten G. H. Blanken doctorate . With Willem F. Bakker , Blanken's successor since 1972, van Gemert had already edited a text by Marinos Phalieros in 1972. Together with Bakker, van Gemert subsequently presented large parts of Cretan literature in authoritative critical editions. In addition to the poems of Marinos Phalieros, these are the Cretan biblical drama Η Θυσία του Αβραάμ (German: The Sacrifice of Abraham ), the Ιστορία του Βελισαρίου , the legend of the Eastern Roman general Belisarios , an anonymously handed down lament in the monastery of Amari's mother, and the complaint against the mother of God created notarial files of Manolis Varouchas and Antonios Gialeas . The 25 years of collaboration between the two researchers began in 1997 with a congress on all of Cretan literature dedicated to Wim Bakker. Other works concern, for example, the Apokopos by an unknown author named Bergadhis . Arnold van Gemert gave his farewell lecture Mythen en mythes on October 25th, 2002. Since then he has edited a modern Greek-Dutch dictionary together with Marc Lauxtermann .
