Sermons (Kazania na niedziele y swięta całego roku W. X. Piotra Skargi Soc. Jesu. T. I–VI)

Piotr Skarga (1536–1612) was a priest, theologian and writer, one of the most prominent Jesuit preachers in the late 16th and early 17th century, and the first rector of Vilnius University. The sixth Vilnius edition of his ‘Sermons’ includes not only his weekly sermons based on the Gospels, but also the ‘Sejm sermons’, which are more like political statements and should be regarded as part of the literary genre of political sermons. In his Sejm sermons, Skarga reveals his personality as a paragon of humanism, citizenship and patriotism.
