Jerzy Ciechanowicz
, 1955 - 1999
Jerzy Ciechanowicz (1955–1999) was a classical philologist and Mediterranean archaeologist, alumnus of University of Warsaw. He translated from Greek, Latin and Italian. He translated Latin poetry – as well as classical and humanistic Neo-Latin (e.g., Marco Girolamo Vida Chess). He was a keen traveler, journalist and author of many books, short stories, essays, and other publications designed to increase awareness of the classical Greek and Roman culture. His historical essays were based on the archeological and historical interests of the author, published in the press and as independent books which were very popular among the readers (the first edition of Rzym – ludzie i budowle [Rome – People and Buildings] was printed in 20 000 copies and then reprinted after two years and again after another year – which is impressive for a non-fictional book about ancient Rome).
