He became professor at Leiden University in 1954 and his personal archive is now part of the collections of the University Library there. Some hundreds of letters which he wrote and received while in Istanbul paint a vivid picture of life in the city, the development of Near Eastern Studies in Turkey and much more. The letters are currently being prepared for publication by Jan Schmidt (Leiden) and Ludmila Hanisch (Berlin).
