Marchinus van der Valk

Marchinus Hyminus Arnoldus Leonardus Hendrikus van der Valk (1910 – 5 January 1992) was a Dutch Protestant pastor and classical scholar.

Van der Valk studied classics at the Leiden University, obtaining his Ph.D. with a dissertation on the nekyia in the Odyssey.[1] He also held a degree in Theology.[2] He became pastor of Wijngaarden in 1938, of Weert in 1945, and of Rumpt in 1951.[2] He retired in 1976 and moved to a retirement structure in 1987.[3] He died in 1992, aged 82.

Despite never holding any academic positions,[2] van der Valk frequently published academic essays dealing with Ancient Greek literature, including four monographs dealing with Homeric matters — the nekyia of Odysseus,[1] the text of the Odyssey[4] and two volumes on the text and scholia of the Iliad[5] — and one volume of studies on Euripides.[6] He became well known for his critical edition of the Commentaries on the Iliad by Eustathius of Thessalonica, sponsored by the Dutch Research Council and published by Brill, in four volumes.[7]
