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. 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. He has been a full member of the Academia Europaea since 1989., as well as a member of the board for several scholarly journals. In 1991 he was elected a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. A book was published in honour of his 60th birthday in 1996 by Keimpe Algra, Pieter Willem van der Horst, and David T. Runia. In 1998, Mansfeld was awarded the Humboldt Prize research award for his outstanding achievements in research and teaching. Mansfeld was made an honourary citizen of the ancient city of Elea, the town of Parmenides, by the Eleatica conference in 2013.

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.
