Hosius, Dantyszek, Kromer: Bishops of Warmia, humanists, atrons of culture. Outline of issues

Summary/Abstract: The Bishops of Warmia played an important role on the cultural and political map of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In the sixteenth century, their special contribution consisted of literary works, involvement in patronage and the promotion of education. This is particularly exemplified by the figure of Cardinal Stanislaus Hosius, bishop of Warmia in 1560–1579. The article presented here serves to give a general overview of the role of the Warmian bishops of the 16th century in the area of science and culture, and to discuss the figure of Hosius against the background of Jan Dantyszek (bishop of Warmia: 1537–1548) and Marcin Kromer (bishop of Warmia 1579–1589), as outstanding humanists, patrons and benefactors. The study refers to the results of research in the humanities, especially history and literary studies, elaborating and synthesising them. It also shows the topicality of these personal models also in the context of the dialogue between the Catholic Church and the contemporary world of science and culture.
