Vernon P. Ziolkowski
Vernon Philip Ziolkowski (1933–1991) was an American Latin scholar and teacher.
Born on August 20, 1933 in Neenah, Wisconsin, he was the son of Frank and Louise Ziolkowski.[1] After graduating from St. Mary’s High School in Neenah, Wisconsin,[2] he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served during the Korean War.[3] After his active duty ended, he majored in Classics at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was elected to membership in the Beta Sigma chapter of Eta Sigma Phi (the national honorary society in Classics) in 1957.[4]
After graduating from Marquette University with a B.A., Ziolkowski was hired as a Latin and English teacher in the Santa Barbara Unified School District in 1960.[5] While teaching Latin and Classical Mythology at the secondary level, Ziolkowski earned first the degree of M.A. at Marquette University and then worked on his Ph.D. at Saint Louis University over the course of many years, culminating in 1982 with the successful defense of his Ph.D. dissertation which was a Latin text of the De fide catholica of Isidore of Seville.[6] His dissertation has had a substantial impact and continues to influence subsequent scholars as a standard work of the late-antique Isidore of Seville.[7] Ziokowski also kindly responded to requests for comments by younger scholars on their work.[8]
Vernon Ziolkowski died on December 28, 1991, in Santa Barbara, California, having taught Latin and Classical Mythology for over 30 years.[1]
