Badacze świata starożytnego Biogramy uczonych z archiwum profesora Ryszarda Gansińca

Más información sobre el libro

The publication features an edition of 29 profiles of Polish and foreign scholars engaged in the study of antiquity, including classical philology, ancient history, and classical archaeology. These biographical sketches originate from the personal archive of Ryszard Gansiniec (1888–1958), a highly versatile Polish scholar. Most profiles were created during the interwar period, with some dating from World War II and the post-1945 era. Reading these profiles offers invaluable insights into both renowned researchers and lesser-known figures whose contributions have been overlooked due to various circumstances, often beyond their control. The collection serves as a significant resource for those interested in the history of antiquity studies in Poland and abroad. It aims to shed light on both celebrated scholars whose work remains influential today and those who, despite their achievements, have faded from collective memory due to tragic or unfortunate events. This publication is an effort to revive the legacies of these forgotten individuals and their scientific contributions.
