Jesuit College in Kalisz
The Jesuit College in Kalisz (Polish: Kolegium jezuitów w Kaliszu) was a college founded by the Jesuit Order in Kalisz, Poland. It existed from 1583 until the Jesuit suppression in 1773.
History
[edit]The college was founded in 1584 by the Primate of Poland, Stanisław Karnkowski, and it became a popular destination for the nobility.[1][2] According to historian Albert Pollard, the college managed to reach a size of 500 students.[2] In the 17th century, during the Deluge, the college struggled when it and several other Jesuit colleges were looted by the Swedish armies.[3]
The college was known for its drama department, with drama education occurring as early as 1592.[1] Pupils performed for King Sigismund Vasa on one occasion,[4] and the college also eventually attracted playwright Andrzej Temberski as a lecturer.[5]
The college in Kalisz and several other Jesuit colleges were closed in 1773 in the wake of the Jesuit suppression.[6] Important collections of maps, books, and drama from the college still exist in the modern period, with some pieces residing at the University of Warsaw Library.[7][4][1]
