Plagiarisms, forgeries and
unauthorised publication
Warning
Since the
year 1974, when Květoslav Minařík passed away,
forgeries, inaccurate transcripts of his work and
transcripts which were distributed without
authorisation, started appearing. These were initially
in the form of samizdat,
but starting from 1990 were also printed and later, in
electronic form, spread through the internet.
Online
this, in particular, refers to websites
www.mahayana.cz and
www.kagyupa.com. More details can be found under the
headings of the different fake titles and titles which
were published without authorisation.
We also
warn that the above mentioned websites are not official
websites of Květoslav Minařík, nor his school and
teaching, although they have this title in their
heading.
Květoslav
Minařík had already during his life, given the copyright
for all of his works to PhDr. Zora Šubrtová, to whom he
delegated the publishing of his writings, as soon as the
political situation allowed. She has fulfilled her duty
through Canopus publishers. She has approved publication
of each individual book, as well as online publication,
solely by this association.
All other
publications in any form in the Czech language or
translated into other languages, which do not bear her
explicit approval, or the approval of the association
Canopus, are unauthorised with the sole exception of
translations into German, which were published by Ing.
Roman Mandys in Austria under his name, in accordance
with an explicit wish of Květoslav Minařík.
The list of
websites, whose owners have requested the possibility to
publish the texts of Canopus can be found HERE.
Under the
links below you can find only those forgeries or
plagiarisms, about whose publication in some form we are
aware. Due to the fact that there are more forgeries in
our archive, and evidence about them, besides detailed
documentation about those already published, we are
kindly asking everyone, that in the case of coming
across an unknown text with Květoslav Minařík indicated
as an author and not being able to find information
about it on
www.canopus.cz, to please contact us through one of
the ways listed under “Contact us“ with questions
about the origin and originality of the text. It is
also possible to obtain more details about the forgeries
and plagiarisms published here.
The texts
are divided into two groups according to the form of
publication.
The list is
based on the status-quo in the second half of the year
2008.
To this
date, there are forgeries and plagiarisms in English and
German throughout the internet (predominantly through
the websites
www.mahayana.cz and
www.kagyupa.com). You can find more details under
the link Forgeries on the internet/Translations of the
works of Květoslav Minařík.
