The aim of the research is to illustrate: a) the impact of the descriptions by Greek authors who employ the topos of the spatial remoteness of the Brahmans from the Western world; b) how the same theme becomes even more evident in the late antique sources up to the medieval texts, among which a passage from John of Salisbury`s "Policraticus" constitutes a relevant part of the investigation.}, type={artykuł}, title={The Brahmans` utopia from the Greek sources to John of Salisbury`s "Policraticus" = Utopia braminów - od źródeł greckich po "Policraticus" Jana z Salisbury}, keywords={Brahmans, Aleksander Wielki (356-323), Island, utopia, "Policraticus", bramini, wyspa}, }
