Jamal Nebez studied Islamic law, philosophy, theology, physics and mathematics at the University of Baghdad in the 1950s. In 1956, he prepared a stenciled script on algebra and in 1960, succeeded in publishing the first physics book in Kurdish, including a rich glossary of Kurdish terms pertaining to physics and mathematics. He translated several literary works, including works of Nikolai Gogol and William Shakespeare into Kurdish. He also wrote and published several books on a variety of topics. Most of the books are mainly about topics related to Kurds.

Nebez wrote many essays in Arab newspapers in Baghdad about the political, social and human rights of the Kurds. One of these publications, in spring 1954, was a critical article published in "Sawt al-Ahali"(voice of the population) on a press-interview given by Celal Bayar, then expresident of Turkey, during a sojourn in the United States, in which Bayar denied the existence of any other people but Turks in Turkey.

During the two years he had taught in Kirkuk, he created the basis for the first physics and mathematics books in the Kurdish language. In 1956, he prepared a stencilized script on Algebra and in 1960, succeeded in publishing the first physics book in Kurdish under the title, "Introduction into the Mechanics and Properties of Matter", including a rich glossary of Kurdish terms pertaining to physics and mathematics.

In the course of his sojourn in Damascus, he managed to write a booklet in Arabic on "The Kurdish Freedom Movement and its Aims" in 1957. He published another book in the same year, titled "Kurdish in Latin Script", in Baghdad. He published many books on Kurdish language and he also translated some literary works, including works of Gogol and Shakespeare into Kurdish.

Sipan Osman set up and maintained several websites for famous Kurdish leaders and academics

Since the sad loss of our friend Sipan, there is a great need for another such caring person to set up similar web sites for Kurdish leaders

Anyone willing to help please contact me

Kurds need to learn about their intellectuals instead of just worshipping the idiots with guns

Jamal Nebez, such a brilliant mind, it is a shame so few of our supporters seem interested

during a sojourn in the United States, in which Bayar denied the existence of any other people but Turks in Turkey.

It is very sad to think that as we go into 2019 there are still people who try to deny the existence of Kurds within Turkish borders

Kurds were trying to obtain more rights from the Ottoman Empire, before the Kurdish homeland was divided (without their consent) into artificially created countries with English/French invented borders

Jamal Nebez goes home to be buried

Kurdistan received the body of well-known Kurdish linguist, mathematician, and writer Jemal Nebez at Erbil International Airport on Saturday before sending it on to be buried in his home town of Sulaimani

Though his name is not commonly familiar to those outside the academic world, many Kurdish officials, writers, and intellectuals attended the arrival of the 85-year-old deceased Nebez, whose casket was covered with the national flag of Kurdistan.

After a brief observance, his remains began the trip to Sulaimani to be buried in a special ceremony.

A true Renaissance man, he was born on Dec. 1, 1933 in Sulaimani and eventually published dozens of books in widely varying fields. He died on Dec. 8 in Berlin after suffering from an illness.

He studied Islamic law, philosophy, theology, physics, and mathematics at the University of Baghdad in the 1950s before leaving the country in 1962 for Europe to pursue his studies in pedagogy, Iran studies, and Islamic studies.

He attended the Universities of Munich, Würzburg, and the University of Hamburg. He also studied political science, journalism, and law at the Free University of Berlin.

“Jemal Nebez was an important scientist of our nation,” Prime Minister of Kurdistan Region Nechirvan Barzani previously said in a condolence statement, stressing Nebez’s role in introducing Kurds to the world.

His support for Kurdish struggles was a constant theme in his life, often calling for greater Kurdish rights in European centers over more than five decades

‘A sad day for all’: Body of Jamal Nabaz home for burial

The body of Kurdish writer and intellectual Jamal Nabaz who passed away in Germany earlier this month was returned to the Kurdistan Region today for burial after a lifetime of “dedication to his homeland,”

“It is a sad day for all,” Nabaz’s widow Hannelore Kuchler told the media outside the Erbil international airport.

“He hoped he could return to a free and independent Kurdistan,” she said. “It is unfortunate that his wish has not yet materialized.”

Nabaz was born in 1933 in Sulaimani and traveled to Europe in 1962 to pursue his studies.

He lived in Germany for nearly six decades where he married a German woman.

Nabaz who died of illness in a Berlin hospital at the age of 85 authored several books and scholarly articles on the Kurdish cause and nationalism.

The governor of Erbil Nawzad Hadi told reporters that the Kurdish government was happy to welcome home the body of a writer who devoted his life to his country.

“Today, as governor of Erbil along with the family of professor Jamal Nabaz and other colleagues I received the body of the great Kurdish intellectual and writer,” Erbil governor Hadi said.

“The Kurdistan Region is proud to embrace [the body of] this great writer who dedicated all his life in diaspora to his rich writings and our nationalism,” he added.

Nabaz’s body is due to be buried in his hometown of Sulaimani today.
