I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE the Manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and His Book Collection Have Not Been Deprived of the Attention of Polish Scholaraship
ORGANON 26-27:1997-1998 AUTEURS ET PROBLEMES Tomasz Strzembosz (Poland) JAN STRZEMBOSZ (1545-1606) HIS MANUSCRIPT AND COLLECTION OF BOOKS I. BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE The manuscript of Jan Strzembosz and his book collection have not been deprived of the attention of Polish scholaraship. The manuscript has been studied by Witold Rubczynski (1922), who, as Aleksander Birken- majer observed, "knew very little about its author". In fact his knowledge was "less than very little". The book collection has received the scholarly regard of many others, writing at diverse times. But none of it has amounted to more than just brief notes, not providing much information about the library collection and its history, and next to none about its original owner. Today, in an age marked by a heightened interest in the Renaissance, Strzem bosz’ valuable bibliophile bequest is a worthy subject for academic attention, while the life and achievements of the enlightened and public-spirited col lector who endowed us with it merit a few moments of notice. A compilation of the facts published earlier and more recently with the material preserved in the archives and collected still before the Second World War, which has fortunately managed to survive that War, will help to give us a fuller picture of the figure of Jan Strzembosz. In 1538 at Opoczno (now Central Poland), on a date recorded as "f. 5 post Conductum Paschae" the Strzembosz brothers, Mikołaj, the Reverend Andrzej, Derstaw, and Ambroży, sons of Jan Strzembosz of Jablonica and Wieniawa, and later of Dunajewice and Skrzyńsko, Justice of the Borough of Radom1, and Owka (Eufemia), daughter of Dersław Dunin of Smogorze- wo, Lord Crown Treasurer, and Małgorzata of Przysucha, concluded an act for the distribution of the patrimonial and maternal property left to them. -

Who Were the Prusai ?
WHO WERE THE PRUSAI ? So far science has not been able to provide answers to this question, but it does not mean that we should not begin to put forward hypotheses and give rise to a constructive resolution of this puzzle. Great help in determining the ethnic origin of Prusai people comes from a new branch of science - genetics. Heraldically known descendants of the Prusai, and persons unaware of their Prusai ethnic roots, were subject to the genetic test, thus provided a knowledge of the genetics of their people. In conjunction with the historical knowledge, this enabled to be made a conclusive finding and indicated the territory that was inhabited by them. The number of tests must be made in much greater number in order to eliminate errors. Archaeological research and its findings also help to solve this question, make our knowledge complemented and compared with other regions in order to gain knowledge of Prusia, where they came from and who they were. Prusian people provinces POMESANIA and POGESANIA The genetic test done by persons with their Pomesanian origin provided results indicating the Haplogroup R1b1b2a1b and described as the Atlantic Group or Italo-Celtic. The largest number of the people from this group, today found between the Irish and Scottish Celts. Genetic age of this haplogroup is older than that of the Celt’s genetics, therefore also defined as a proto Celtic. 1 The Pomerania, Poland’s Baltic coast, was inhabited by Gothic people called Gothiscanza. Their chronicler Cassiodor tells that they were there from 1940 year B.C. Around the IV century A.D. -
