About the Book

English summary: The comprehensive biography of Rhodokanakis tells us about his life and exposes what previously was unknown. His scientific work and career are examined and an attempt is made to trace the person behind the scholar and teacher. The biography exposes his enormous contribution for the historical and cultural-historical sciences and especially his role as a founding figure of Ancient South Arabian studies. With the decipherment of the ancient South Arabian inscriptions and the methodology that he developed for this study, as well as the decoding of several of their main texts, he created the basis for their further study. He was extensively concerned in establishing Sabaean Studies beyond the University of Graz, also in the international academic framework. He inspired numerous students for this highly complex field of research. Under his guidance, they acquired substantial knowledge, later expanded his research and brought it to new heights. Rhodokanakis, together with Maria Hofner and Karl Mlaker, thus prepared the ancient Sabean indexing of a large part of the inscriptions that Eduard Glaser brought to Vienna from Yemen. The Austrian tradition of the research on ancient South Arabia was further developed in the first half of the 20th century as a highly specialized Semitic-philological expertise in combination with solid interdisciplinary specialist skills and thereby acquired a great international acknowledgment. This fact is primarily due to this cultivated leading researcher. German description: Die detaillierte Biographie von Nikolaus Rhodokanakis deckt bisher Unbekanntes auf. Seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit und sein Werdegang werden beleuchtet und es wird versucht, den Menschen aufzuspuren, der hinter dem Gelehrten und Lehrer steckt. Die Biographie zeigt seine grossen Verdienste um die historischen und kulturgeschichtlichen Wissenschaften und besonders seine Rolle als Grundungsfigur der Altsudarabistik. Mit der Entzifferung der altsudarabischen Inschriften und der Methodik, die er dafur entwickelt hat sowie der Entschlusselung von etlichen ihrer Haupttexte, schuf er die Grundlage fur deren weitere Erforschung. Er war damit massgeblich an der Etablierung der Sabaistik uber die Universitat Graz hinaus auch im internationalen akademischen Rahmen beteiligt. Er begeisterte zahlreiche Schulerinnen und Schuler fur dieses hochkomplexe Forschungsfeld. Unter seiner Anleitung eigneten sie sich beachtliches Wissen an, erweiterten spater seine Forschungen und brachten sie zu neuer Blute. Damit bereitete Rhodokanakis, gemeinsam mit Maria Hofner und Karl Mlaker, die altsabaistische Erschliessung eines Grossteils jener Inschriften auf, die Eduard Glaser aus dem Jemen nach Wien gebracht hat. Dass die im osterreichischen Raum beheimatete Forschungstradition zu Altsudarabien in der ersten Halfte des 20. Jahrhunderts als hochspezialisierte semitistisch-philologische Expertise in Kombination mit interdisziplinaren Fachkompetenzen weiterentwickelt wurde und grosstes internationales Ansehen erwarb, ist in erster Linie diesem kultivierten Spitzenforscher zu verdanken.
