Born in Druten, a small village in east Holland, he went to Lebanon as a missionary in 1958; there he became an expert in Armenian (he is fluent in seven other languages).

The only thing missing is everything that made Voltaire's remark so witty and memorably alliterative in French. If a four-word mot successfully thwarts attempts to export it, the problems posed by an epic poem more than 10,000 lines long, written two millenniums ago in a language now deceased...
