摘要
Giovanni Stary是威尼斯Ca ' Foscari大学著名的满语专家,也是欧洲唯一的普通满语研究教授,于2022年10月19日因心力衰竭去世。他于2009年6月中风,限制了他的活动,并导致他于2011年11月1日从大学辞职。他对满族研究的发展产生了重大影响,主要是通过他的许多出版物和他经常参加国际会议和专题讨论会。虽然他有一些有天赋的学生,但这并没有导致意大利满文研究的复兴。Giovanni Stary于1946年3月27日出生在南蒂罗尔的Merano (Meran),这是他一生都依恋的地区。这个家族起源于波西米亚,这个姓氏可能就是从那里来的。乔瓦尼告诉我们,有一位祖母来自柏林。他本来应该叫汉斯,但战争一结束,德国名字在意大利的蒂罗尔是被禁止的,所以他被命名为乔瓦尼。他的父亲海因里希·斯塔里(heinrich Stary, 1906-1977)是一名印刷工人,他收集印钞机和邮票,并把这个集邮爱好传给了儿子。他的母亲格蕾特·莫泽(1906-1977)负责照顾家庭。史泰里在布雷萨诺内(Brixen)的文法学校上学,在那里他的老师和校长——汉学家马丁·本尼迪克特(Martin Benedikter, 1908-1969)给他留下了特别深刻的印象,他后来成为帕多瓦的汉学教授。史泰里对中国的兴趣是由邮票和游记点燃的,他的老师鼓励了他;然而,本尼迪克特也建议他选择东欧作为研究主题,可能是考虑到当时的职业前景。高中毕业后,Stary服兵役。Giovanni Stary, ca. 2003(由其家人提供)《纪念碑》:东方研究杂志,71页。[j] .中文信息学报,2016年6月
Giovanni Stary, renowned expert on Manchu and Europe’s only ordinary professor of Manchu studies, at the University Ca’ Foscari at Venice, passed away on 19 October 2022, on account of heart failure. He had suffered a stroke in June 2009 that limited his activities and led to his resignation from the University on 1 November 2011. He had a major influence on the development of Manchu studies, mainly through his many publications and his frequent participation in international conferences and symposia. Although he had a number of gifted students, this did not lead to a revival of Manchu research in Italy. Giovanni Stary was born on 27 March 1946 in Merano (Meran), South Tyrol, a region to which he remained attached throughout his life. The family had roots in Bohemia, where the family name may have come from, and Giovanni told us that a grandmother came from Berlin. He was supposed to be called Hans, but immediately after the war a German name was forbidden in Italian Tyrol, and so hewas christenedGiovanni. His father, the typographerHeinrich Stary (1906–1977), collected Tyrolensia and stamps, and he passed this philatelic hobby on to his son.
