Life

Jaap Mansfeld began his studies in 1954 at the University of Utrecht, where he received his doctorate in 1964 with a thesis on Parmenides.[2] From 1973 until his retirement in 2001 he was a professor of ancient philosophy, and subsequently professor of History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, at Utrecht University.[2] He has been a full member of the Academia Europaea since 1989.,[3] as well as a member of the board for several scholarly journals.[2] In 1991 he was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[4] A book was published in honour of his 60th birthday in 1996 by Keimpe Algra, Pieter Willem van der Horst, and David T. Runia.[5] In 1998, Mansfeld was awarded the Humboldt research award for his outstanding achievements in research and teaching.[2] Mansfeld was made an honorary citizen of the ancient city of Elea, the town of Parmenides, by the Eleatica conference in 2013.[6]

Mansfeld's focus is on doxography, and he has had a thirty year collaboration with David Theunis Runia on the fragments and testimonia of the doxographer Aëtios.[7]
