Mikołaj Hussowski
Mikołaj Hussowski (also: Mikołaj Hussowczyk , Nicolaus Hussovianus , Mikołaj z Hussowa ; * between 1475 and 1485; † after 1533) was a humanist and poet from the territories of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
Little is known about Hussovianus' ancestry and living conditions. It is generally believed that he was born between 1475 and 1485. He traveled to Rome in 1521 as the courtier Erazm Ciołeks , the bishop of Płock . There he wrote the poem Carmen de statura, feritate ac venatione bisontis on his behalf , which was to be presented to Pope Leo X , who was a passionate hunter.
After the sudden death of the Pope and the shortly thereafter death of his employer, Hussovianus returned to Poland, and his Carmen de statura, feritate ac venatione bisontis did not appear in Italy as planned, but in Krakow in 1523 and was dedicated to Queen Bona Sforza . With this work and the writings Nova et miranda victoria de Turcis mense Iulio (1524) and De vita et gestis Divi Hyacinthi (1525), Hussovianus joins the group of Polish-Lithuanian poets of the early Renaissance who wrote in Latin.
