“Classica Cracoviensia”, the annual devoted to the studies of Greek and
Roman antiquity, was established in 1995 as the initiative of the
Director of the Institute of Classical Philology of the Jagiellonian
University, Professor Stanisław Stabryła. Since 1996, the function of
the scientific editor has been held by Professor Jerzy Styka. From the
very beginning “Classica Cracoviensia” has been planned as a forum for
scientific cooperation between the Institute of Classical Philology of
the Jagiellonian University and European university centres of studies
on the classical Greek and Roman culture in its various forms –
literature as well as politics, philosophy, religion, law, art and
reception studies. Periodically organised conferences, research
projects, guest lectures, together with new publishing series are a few
examples of this cooperation. It has made a significant contribution to
the development of the Greek and Roman antiquity studies; at the same
time, it brings academics working in this area of study together.
Through the presentation of research on various forms of the Greek and
Roman culture, we are trying to reveal the processes which have shaped
this culture and the complexity of cultural transformation which had
been taking place within it, as well as accentuate its universal
character and the inspirational role in the creation of modern Europe.
The very broad formula of this periodical supports intercultural and
interdisciplinary research, which allows for a multifaceted and in-depth
presentation of cultural phenomena and teaches the respect for
otherness. The versatility of research methods serves as an argument for
defending the heritage of antiquity in the modern world.
