Sebastian Klonowic

Sebastian Fabian Klonowic (1545 Sulmierzyce – 29 August 1602 Lublin), alternatively known by his Latin epithet Acernus, was a Polish poet, composer and mayor of Lublin.

He studied at the University of Kraków. He wrote in both Polish and Latin. Klonowic first lived in Lwów, then he settled in Lublin. While in Lublin, he became mayor.

Klonowic was critical of the Jesuit Order and voiced his opposition in Latin. He did not shy away from directly labmbasting the Order in his works. His Latin poems were filled with Latinized Polish words, and on the other hand his Polish poems were often made unintelligible by the use of Latinisms and Hellenisms literally translated. He lived his last years on the charity of the Jesuits.
