Abstract
“DOCTOR HONORIS CAUSA” – WOLFGANG MIEDER
On December 16, 2014, Professor Wolfgang Mieder from the University of Vermont received the special honor of a “doc-tor honoris causa” from the prestigious University of Athens in Greece. The proclamation festivity took place in the main building of the university at Athens with many administrators, professors, and students in attendance for the special celebration. It was the wish of the colleagues and friends at the University of Athens that the various speeches of the evening would be published in Proverbium: Yearbook of International Proverb Scholarship as a sign of the high regard of not only Prof. Mieder’s contributions to international folkloristics in general and international paremiology in particular but also as a tribute to proverb scholars throughout the world. The speeches were delivered in Greek and are presented here in English translation. Prof. Mieder’s address was given in English.
