He was an organiser of colleges, the first dean of the academy in Vilna, and one of the main architects of the confessional union of Brest, which resulted in the founding of the Greek Catholic Church. Not to be overlooked are his writings, including three sermonic collections, widely used by the Polish clergy up to the nineteenth century, and <em>The Lives of the Saints<\/em>, read in Polish homes for the following three hundred years.<\/p>\n<p>In 1601 in Vilna, Skarga delivered a sermon in front of king Zygmunt and his army, which was setting off for a campaign in Livonia. The talk, later entitled \u2018Mounting for battle\u2019 (\u2018Wsiadane na wojn\u0119 kazanie\u2019), was tendentiously transcribed and translated into German in the city of Toru\u0144, and then sent to Szczecin in the Duchy of Pomerania, where it was commented upon by a Lutheran minister Daniel Cramer. Cramer\u2019s commentary and the transcript itself, depicting the Polish monarch\u2019s preacher as a bloodthirsty and war-loving enemy of religious dissidents, were published in Leipzig. The reply, in the form of the original work armed with a textual inventory designed to defend Skarga as an author and, especially, to save the good name of the king, who borrowed a considerable sum for his campaign from the Pomeranian duke Barnim XII, appeared in Cracow and was followed by another response to Cramer\u2019s pamphlet, written in German by Fryderyk Bartsch and containing another version of Skarga\u2019s sermon. Bartsch\u2019s book, officially acknowledged by the Jesuit Order, was printed in Brunsberga with a dedication to Barnim. The journey of Skarga\u2019s sermon around East-Central Europe, its transformations, and its political as well as confessional context will be the subject of my paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peregrination of a Jesuit Sermon: Piotr Skargha\u2019s Mounting for Battle before the Livonian Campaign of 1601 Intellectual Geography \/ Monday 5 September, 2011 Piotr Skarga, court preacher of the Polish king Zygmunt III Waza, was one of the most influential Polish Jesuits.
