An obituary of Sławomir Wyszomirski, a distinguished professor of Classics at the Copernicus University in Toruń. His publications on Greek, Roman, and Neo-Latin literature include editions of Neo- -Latin works by Polish authors, such as the Greek and Latin poems of Jeremiasz Wojnowski (16th century), who was notorious for his claim of having discovered Ovid’s tomb in south-eastern Poland (now Ukraine).

The late Dr Jerzy Mańkowski, a classical scholar and a researcher in Polish mediaeval and Renaissance literature, is portrayed through ten voices of his colleagues, disciples, as well as his daughter. He will be remembered for his wide knowledge and critical acumen, but first of all for the passion and enthusiasm which he passed on to his disciples and readers of his works. His relatives and friends also recall his love for hiking in the mountainous regions of Poland.

A bibliography of Jerzy Mańkowski, which includes his scholarly writings, translations and edited works, arranged in chronological order.
