Summary/Abstract: The article is one of the first attempts to write a scientific biography of a prominent Arabist, Betsy Yakovlevna Shidfar (1928–1993). Shidfar is well-known as a brilliant translator of many classical texts of medieval Arabic literature. However, her opus magnum – the translation of the Qur’an – was released only after the death of the researcher. The article provides a brief analysis of the major scientific works by Shidfar. It contains personal memories of the author, who studied with Shidfar at Leningrad State University after the war.
