Dutch scholars honoured the centenary of one of their great Orientalists at a conference in Leiden in August 1994. Their aim was “to commemorate Hendrik Neubronner Van der Tuuk, the first linguistic fieldworker, and also the first Austronesian comparative linguist in the Netherlands, who died at the age of 70 on August 17, 1894”. In the United Kingdom too, we have inherited a share of his work and influence.
