Popovych, Omelian
Popovych wrote a number of readers and grammars, most notable among which were
Hramatyka dlia shkil narodnykh (A Grammar for Elementary Schools, 3 vols, 1893–4) and
Ruthenisches Sprachbuch für Mittelschulen (3 vols, 1897–1902). In the 1920s he wrote four
Ukrainian grammar texts for Galician schools, which were approved by the Polish
educational authorities. He edited Gesetz und Verordnungsblatt für bukowiner Schulwesen and
headed the Ukrainian section of Bukowiner Schule. He wrote numerous articles on pedagogy
and literature, published the poetry collections Bukovyna (1875) and Dumka (Thought, 1886),
and translated various works. He compiled the Rus'ko-nimets'kyi slovar (Ruthenian-German
Dictionary, 1904), whose second edition appeared in 1911 under the title Ruthenisch-deutsches
Wörterbuch, with 25,000 entries. His memoirs, Vidrodzhennia Bukovyny (The Rebirth of
Bukovyna), were published in 1933.
