From Antiquity to Modern Times: Classical Poetry and its Modern Reception. Essays in honour of Stanislaw Stabryla

The 11th volume of Classica Cracoviensia is entirely dedicated to the celebration of the 70th birthday of Professor Stanislaw Stabryla, a distinguished Classical Scholar. The first part of the book includes the papers read during a conference organised to commemorate this occasion, which was held in Collegium Maius of the Jagiellonian University on the 22nd of September, 2007. The second part of the volume, 'Varia', comprises numerous papers on a wide range of topics. They were sent in by Professor Stabryla's disciples, colleagues and friends to honour his birthday. All the articles are of scholarly status and pertain to areas connected with the theory of ancient literature and culture, as well as theology and neo-Latin studies. The authors were joined in a desire to acknowledge Professor Stabryla's academic achievement as well as to thank him for his work at the Jagiellonian University and for his significant contribution to shaping the Polish academic circles of Classical scholars.
