I can think of at least one other! Yuri Knorozov, the linguist who translated the Mayan language!
Russia put him on a stamp in 2022:
BedΕich HroznΓ½, the czech orientalist and linguist who deciphered the Hittite language.
Put on a stamp in 2025:
Also: Rasmus Rask, one of the fathers of comparative linguistics
Johann Caspar Zeuss, father of Celtic Philology.
Eric P. Hamp, Indo-Europeanist (...who had a specialization in Celtic among...many other things).
excuse us, how fucking DARE they put Knorozov on a stamp without his cat?!
were any other killed by lions though
all of them
it's an occupational hazard that's been collectively hushed up
