Who is Sebastian Miczyński?

Sebastian Miczynski was a 16th/17th century Polish academic. Professor of philosophy at Kraków Jagellonian University.

In 1618 Sebastian Miczynski published antisemitic pamphlet Zwierciadlo Korony Polskej, which was one of the causes of anti-Jewish riots in Kraków. In order to prevent further disorders King Sigismund III Vasa forbade the dissemination of this pamphlet, as did his son, Władysław IV Vasa - however successive editions of Zwierciadlo appeared, contributing to the birth of antisemitic literature in Poland.
