Edward Lipiński, or Edouard Lipiński (born 18 June 1930 in Łódź, Poland and deceased on 12 April 2024 in Brussels, Belgium), was a Polish-Belgian Biblical scholar and Orientalist,[1] professor and exegete at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.

Life

His first major work, published in 1965, was a monumental monograph, La royauté de Yahwé dans la poésie et le culte de l'ancien Israël. In 1969, he was appointed professor at the Catholic University of Leuven, where he taught the comparative grammar of Semitic languages, the history of ancient Near Eastern religions and institutions and other things.

He was head of the Department of Oriental and Slavonic studies at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven[2] from 1978 to 1984. He directed the publication of the Dictionnaire de la civilisation phénicienne et punique (1992) and the Studia Phoenicia series (from 1983).

He also published Semitic Languages. Outline of a Comparative Grammar (1997, 2001) and dealt extensively with Old Aramaic dialects and history, in particular in his Studies in Aramaic Inscriptions and Onomastics (1975, 1994, 2010, 2016) and in The Aramaeans: Their Ancient History, Culture, Religion (2000).[3]

Referring to the last work, a reviewer noted that it "embodies the accumulated insights of one of the greatest Semitic scholars of our time".[4] He was awarded a doctorate honoris causa by the Lund University in 2003. Although he retired in 1995, he continued teaching and doing research mainly in Aramaic and Phoenician studies.
