Empedocles: a Philosopher, a Doctor and a Magus. Materials for Understanding and Assessing Him<\/em>.
It was the title of the most important work by H. Jakubanis (1879-1949)
originally published in Kyiv in 1906.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of publishing this book the author was a young, 27 years old, lecturer and researcher at the St. Vladimir Imperial University of Kyiv. His area of competence and interest was established, it was ancient literature and philosophy with an emphasis on Greek philosophers. This volume consisted of two main parts: 1) Introductory presentation of Empedocles’ life, Sicilian society, culture etc., and finally – the sources of his philosophical thought. 2) Translations of the remaining fragments of Empedocles in verse and prose, with philological commentaries. It is the Jakubanis’ translation of the philosopher’s texts that won him recognition in the Russian-speaking world. Suffice to say that it is still in circulation today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Jakubanis’s Empedocles <\/em>had to wait for over a century to become finally available to Polish reading audiences. Until now this work had only been listed in bibliographies with no hint regarding its content. Two young Ph.D. students and researchers of A\u03a6R group, Mariam Sargsyan and Adrian Habura, took their time to translate it from pre-reform Russian into well readable contemporary Polish. With their introduction the book was published as volume 3 of the book series<\/a> published by Marek Derewiecki. Naturally, only Jakubanis’ own text was translated into Polish, for there was no need to re-translate his Russian renderings of Greek philosophical poetry. All the more so that Polish readers have a complete translation of Empedocles’ fragments by Katarzyna Ko\u0142akowska, a researcher from Jakubanis’ beloved Catholic University of Lublin.<\/p>\n<\/div>

It should only be added that the book is accompanied by an afterword by Ko\u0142akowska and it is available on the publisher’s website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
