This is an homage to Bent Christensen, taxonomist, cytologist, population geneticist of Enhytraeidae, the founding father of modern research on enchytraeids and, above all, a very fine person. It is not meant as a full vita of his rich academic life but rather focuses on his contributions to the knowledge of enchytraeid biology.
