The Arabist and Explorer Alois Musil (1868-1944) and His Unfulfilled Career as a Biblical Scholar
Original language description
The Arabist, Orientalist, explorer, and Czech Catholic priest Alois Musil (1868-1944) ranks among the greatest figures in Oriental studies. He originally began his career as a Biblical scholar, and Biblical exegetics remained his primary and fundamental field of expertise. Changes at the time in Catholic exegetics brought about by the pontificate of Pius X forced him to concentrate on a different and less dangerous field of study, represented specifically by Oriental studies. As he explained to his friend and colleague Father Zapletal: “We both look at life and at our vocation as priests quite differently than we did some thirty years ago. We work because in work we seek out the meaning of life and the necessary basis for happiness in our lives. Do not forget that I am an honest priest and as such have a difficult position not only at home but also abroad. The present study provides a portrait of Musil as a progressive Catholic Biblical scholar during the turbulent period of the modernist crisis.
