Lubrański Academy
The Lubrański Academy (Polish: Akademia Lubrańskiego , Latin: Collegium Lubranscianum ) was an educational institution in Poznań (Posen) in Poland from 1519 to 1780.
history
The committed bishop Jan Lubrański founded the first humanistic academy in Poland in 1518 . He managed to win professors from the University of Kraków as teaching staff. The academy experienced its heyday in the first decades of its existence.
From 1562 counter-reformation ideas gained a stronger influence. After the Jesuit College was founded in the city in 1570, it was soon closed.
In 1616 the Academy was re-established and since 1619 it has been a colony of the University of Kraków. (There were other colonies in Lwów , Chełmno and Kraków, among others .)
In 1780 it was merged with the Wielkopolska School , which had emerged from the Jesuit College in 1773. This new Voivodeship School ( Wojewódzka Szkoła Wydziałowa ) was closed in 1793 after the Second Partition of Poland .
Structures
The academy should prepare students to attend university. (It was not a university itself and could not award academic degrees, but had a higher-quality range of subjects than a grammar school.) A set of rules for the academy was compiled by Christoph Hegendorf in the 1520s .
There was a theological and a humanistic department. In the humanistic philosophy, jurisprudence, rhetoric, arithmetic, and logic were taught. Most of the professors came from the University of Krakow.
After the academy became a colony of the university in 1619, it was run entirely by the university's professors. The compilation of subjects remained the same.
building
The building of the academy was built between 1518 and 1530 on the cathedral island ( ostrów tumski ).
After teaching was closed in 1780, the cathedral library was housed there, and since 1784 it has also been used by the seminary.
In the years 1924/25 there was extensive renovation work. In 1926 the diocesan archive moved in. In 1974/75 and 2007 there were intensive renovation measures. Since then, it has housed the Diocesan Museum and Archives of the Archdiocese of Poznań.
