P.S. A jak niema to tutaj jest google cache, gduz keszu nici, to masz kawalek:
- "Guagnini most probably wasn’t the real author of „Description of European Sarmatia”. When he served as a captain of a cavalry unit in Vitsiebsk in White Russia he stole the manuscript of the work from his Polish subordinate, Maciej Stryjkowski. Stryjkowski protested violently and even appealed to the king for recognition of his authorship, presenting as his witnesses Stanislaw Pac and numerous Lithuanian noblemen. The king recognized Stryjkowski’s claim in a charter proclaimed on July 14th 1580. In spite of this, the work continued to be printed under Guagnini’s name and in 1611 its Polish translation was published in Cracow!"
