Orzechowski, Stanislaw

    0.01 sec.

Orzechowski (or Orichovius), Stanisław (1513-1566)

Polish Catholic theologian and historian. A vigorous polemicist in Latin and Polish, he published tracts opposing celibacy in the priesthood (1551), urging a crusade against the Ottoman Turks (1543), and advocating theocracy (1563). He also wrote a history of Poland, published posthumously in 1611. His works in Polish had an important impact on the development of Polish as a literary language.
