GOEJE, MICHAEL JAN DE (18361909)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GOA-GRA
GOEJE, MICHAEL JAN DE (18361909) , Dutch orientalist, was born in Friesland in 1836. He devoted himself at an early age to the study of oriental languages and became especially proficient in Arabic, under the guidance of Dozy and Juynboll, to whom he was afterwards an intimate friend and colleague. He took his degree of
doctor
  at Leiden in 1860, and then studied for a year in
Oxford
 , where he examined and collated the Bodleian MSS. of
Idrisi
  (part being published in 1866, in collaboration with R. P. Dozy, as Description de l'Afrique et de l'Espagne). About the same time he wrote Memoires de l'histoire et de la geographic orientales, and edited Expugnatio regionum. In 1883, on the death of Dozy, he became Arabic professor at Leiden, retiring in 1906. He died on the 17th of May 1909. Though perhaps not a teacher of the first order, he wielded a
great
  influence during his long professoriate not only over his pupils, but over theologians and eastern administrators who attended his lectures, and his many editions of Arabic texts have been of the highest value to scholars, the most important being his
great
  edition of Tabari. Though entirely averse from politics, he took a keen
interest
  in the municipal affairs of Leiden and made a
special
  study of elementary education. He took the leading part in the International Congress of Orientalists at Algiers in 1905. He was a member of the Institut de France, was awarded the German Order of Merit, and received an honorary doctorate of
Cambridge
  University. At his death he was president of the newly formed International Association of Academies of Science. Among his
chief
  works are Fragmenta historicorum Arabicorum (18691871); Diwan of Moslim ibn al-Walid (1875); Bibliotheca geographorum Arabicorum (18701894); Annals of Tabari (18791901); edition of Ibn Qutaiba's
biographies
  (1904); of the travels of Ibn Jubaye (1907, 5th vol. of Gibb Memorial). He was also the
chief
  editor of the Encyclopaedia of Islam (vols. i.-iii.), and contributed many articles to
periodicals
 . He wrote
for the 9th and the present edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
