Professor Hans Quecke* (1928 - 1998) (by Dr. Youhanna N. Youssef)

that one of the Copts will pursue studies in this field.

Professor Hans Quecke was born on July 31st, 1928, in Duisburg (Germany). He studied theology in Berlin and entered the order of Jesuits in 1948. For his thesis, he studied the Coptic prayers before the Holy Mass i.e. Tasbeha and hence he published several Sahidic Manuscripts, dealing with this subject. His main interest was the Coptic Liturgy and the Bible hence he published the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John according to the earliest manuscripts in addition to several fragments of psalms. His study on the Coptic Horologion will remain a great reference on this subject. We owe to him also the Coptic Bibliography published in Orientalia where he was editor of the Coptic Section for more than several years. He taught in the Pontifical Institute of Biblical Studies in Rome. With his departure, we witness the disappearance of another pillar of Coptic Liturgical studies (after the death of Professor Coquin -Last year). We hope

Professor Torgny Säve-Söderbergh (1915 - 1998) (Extracted from the website of the Egypt Exploration Society by Dr. Youhanna N. Youssef) Professor Torgny Säve-Söderbergh passed away quietly during the night of May 21, 1998. He was 83 years old. Though retired in 1980, he remained an active part of the life of the Department of Egyptology at Uppsala University in Sweden. He continued to both influence and take interest in those students who came after his own tenure. His scholarly production was ongoing, and a final article dealing with an expedition to Turkey in the late 30s, will appear in the fall. In spite of his own personal difficulties, he remained a supportive mentor and caring friend. His passing is a personal as well as a professional loss. He was also a great Coptologist, he studied the Nag Hammadi codices and published several books and articles dealing with Coptology.
