Mihail Petruševski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mihail Petruševski (born July 2, 1911, Bitola, died February 27, 1990) (Macedonian: Михаил Петрушевски, also "Михајло Петрушевски") was a Macedonian academic, philologist and founder of the Faculty of Philosophy at the Skopje University. He published over 200 philosophic works, but his translation of Homer's "Iliad" and his adaptation of "Skanderbeg" by Grigor Parlichev were considered particularly significant for Macedonian culture.

Petruševski was also a committee member on the first Committee for the Standardization of the Macedonian Alphabet, and a former rector of Saints Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje.
