Abstract

The outstanding contribution to classical scholarship made by Tadeusz Zieliński and his unusual Polish, Russian, and German cultural background warrant a new discussion eighty years after his death. This brilliant philologist and pioneer of classical reception inspired great admiration in his time. How­ever, his philosophical beliefs and private life caused public controversies that need reassessing today on the basis of a review of Zieliński’s life and career within their historical and cultural context.
