Summary/Abstract: The collections of the Jagiellonian Library contain valuable, lavishly painted manuscripts, which were commissioned in the middle of the 17th century by father Grzegorz Jan Zdziewojski of Łasek (1609–ok. 1685), an extraordinary person unjustly forgotten by the subsequent generations. He was one of the luminaries of his time. The lower classes of the Cracow society appreciated him above all for his speaking skills. He was known as an excellent preacher who preached his sermons in the churches of St. Mary and St. John. He supported students and provided them with scholarships. He was also concerned about the future of the University, to which he bequeathed capital funds. The Libri promotionum et diligentiarum¸ though little known, are the most significant of his donations that have survived to our time.
