Mourning for Prof. a.D. Dr phil. Dr theol. h.c. Barbara Aland D.D. (USA), D. Litt. (USA) (1937-2024)
The former long-standing director of the Institute for New Testament Textual Research, Prof. Dr. Barbara Aland, passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning. Barbara Aland headed the Institute from 1983-2002 and was managing director of the Hermann Kunst-Foundation. She remained closely associated with the INTF, the Bible Museum and the Foundation. Our thoughts are with her family. She will be missed by us and by the scientific community.
