IN MEMORIAM DR RUDOLF DE JONG

The staff of the Netherlands Institute in Morocco (NIMAR) has learned with great sadness about the sudden death of our dear colleague Dr Rudolf de Jong, Director of the Dutch-Flemish Institute in Cairo (NVIC), last Friday 16 February 2024. We remember Rudolf as an outstanding scholar with great achievements in the field of Arabic dialectology, but above all as a very dear colleague with whom it was always a pleasure to meet and to exchange. We miss him sincerely and wish his dear ones strength to carry this huge loss. We hope that they will find comfort in the many dear memories of him.

On behalf of all NIMAR staff,

Léon Buskens
