[General] among others, Lombroso, Professor Bianchi...

[jacob123]

Does "among others" here mean "he was an ardent worker and propagandist like mentioned people" or does it mean "among others who owned their first knowledge of psychical phenomena were Lombroso, Professor Bianchi of the University of Naples.."?

Dr. Ercole Chiaia, who died in 1905, was also an ardent worker and propagandist to whom many distinguished men of European reputation owed their first knowledge of psychical phenomena, among others, Lombroso, Professor Bianchi of the University of Naples, Schiaparelli, Flournoy, Professor Porro of the University of Genoa, and Colonel de Rochas.

Yes.

 

[probus]

The phrase among others here indicates that the list including Lombroso, Bianchi, and the others mentioned is not exhaustive. There are other eminent people who could have been listed but were not.
