Mathematician with a Poetic Soul. Vladislav Šak’s (1860-1941) Work of Bulgarian Studies
Černý, Marcel
The study puts emphasis on the Czech-Bulgarian cross cultural works of a mathematician, journalist and translator Vladislav Šak (1860-1941). The study aspires to merge knowledge regarding Šak’s bulgarian studies contribution (he has translated Ch. Botev, I. Vazov, K. Christov, E. Bagrjana, K. Veličkov and others; among others he has written set of sonnets "Pod Vitoší", 1905; "Bulharsko-český slovník", 1910-1913; "Kniha bulharsko-české konversace", 1913; "Česko-bulharský slovník", 1926) on the basis of available literature as well as so far unexplored sources (e.g. Šak’s autobiography that has been published within this study, or the only broader correspondence collection, Šak’s letters addressed to Adolf Černy, the main editor of "Slovanský přehled", into which Šak used to regularly contribute partly under the pen-name Martin Prentov). Both Šak’s personal and professional relationships with K. Veličkov have been described for the first time.
