== Renaissance == With the advent of the [[Renaissance]], the Polish language was finally accepted on an equal footing with Latin. Polish culture and art flourished under [[Jagiellonian dynasty|Jagiellonian]] rule, and many foreign poets and writers settled in Poland, bringing with them new literary trends. Such writers included [[Kallimach]] ([[Filippo Buonaccorsi]]) and [[Conrad Celtis]]. Many Polish writers studied abroad, and at the [[Kraków Academy]], which became a melting pot for new ideas and currents. In 1488, the world's first literary society, the ''[[Sodalitas Litterarum Vistulana]]'' (Vistula Literary Society) was founded in Kraków. Notable members included [[Conrad Celtes]], [[Albert Brudzewski]], [[Filip Callimachus]] and [[Laurentius Corvinus]].<ref name="Miłosz-1" /> A Polish writer who used [[Latin]] as his principal vehicle of expression was [[Klemens Janicki]] (''Ianicius''), who became one of the most notable Latin poets of his time and was [[Bay laurel|laurel]]ed by the Pope. Other writers such as [[Mikołaj Rej]],<ref name="polona.pl">[http://www.polona.pl/dlibra/collectiondescription2?dirids=22 The Mikołaj Rej collection, with biography and body of works. ''National Digital Library'' (Cyfrowa Biblioteka Narodowa ''Polona''), 2006.] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110903123328/http://www.polona.pl/dlibra/collectiondescription2?dirids=22 |date=3 September 2011 }} {{in lang|en}}</ref> and [[Jan Kochanowski]], laid the foundations for the Polish literary language and modern Polish grammar. The first book written entirely in the [[Polish language]] appeared in this period – It was a [[Breviary|prayer-book]] by [[Biernat of Lublin]] (c. 1465 – after 1529) called ''Raj duszny'' (''[[Hortulus Animae]]'', Eden of the Soul), printed in [[Kraków]] in 1513 at one of Poland's first printing establishments, operated by [[Florian Ungler]] (originally from [[Bavaria]]). The most notable Polish writers and poets active in the 16th century include: {| width=100% | width=50% valign=top | * [[Mikołaj Hussowski]] (Hussowczyk, 1480?–1533?) * [[Andrzej Krzycki]] (1482–1537) * [[Johannes Dantiscus]] (1485–1548) * [[Jan Łaski]] (1499–1560), ''Communae Poloniae Regni privilegium'' * [[Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski]] (1503–1572), ''De Republica emendanda'' * [[Mikołaj Rej]] (1505–1569), ''Krótka rozprawa...'' * [[Klemens Janicki]] (Ianicius, 1516–1542) | width=50% valign=top | * [[Łukasz Górnicki]] (1524–1603) * [[Jan Kochanowski]] (1530–1584), ''[[Laments (Kochanowski)|Laments]]'' * [[Piotr Skarga]] (1536–1612) * [[Bartosz Paprocki]] (1543?–1614), historiographer, genealogist * [[Szymon Szymonowic]] (1558–1629) * [[Daniel Naborowski]] (1573–1640) * [[Maciej Kazimierz Sarbiewski]] (1595–1640) |}
