Hieronim Moskorzowski

Who is Hieronim Moskorzowski?

Hieronim Moskorzowski Moskorzów c. 1560-1625, was an administrator of the Racovian Academy, and writer of the Polish Brethren.

He came from a noble family, received a comprehensive education, and became involved with the movement of the Polish Brethren. He prepared the Polish and Latin text of the 1605 Racovian Catechism, which Fausto Sozzini, who died in 1604, did not manage to complete. He worked together with Piotr Stoiński Jr. and Jan Völkel.

Unlike the older generation of the Ecclesia Minor he was involved in politics and as a member of the Sejm repeatedly defended the rights of minority believers and dissenters there. At the zjazd meeting of the nobility in Lublin he objected to the revolt of the nobility against the king and senators, and was elected to the committee that put together the articles of a request for nobles to the king.
