Obrona praw dysydentów na sejmie 1606 r. za szczególnym uwzględnieniem roli Stanisława Stadnickiego

Activity of Stanisław Stadnicki in Defense of Dissident Rights at the 1606 Parliament Session The article analyzes the attitude of Stanisław Stadnicki (~1551-1610) towards religious controversies, with special stress put on the 1606 parliamentary session. These issues have been studied in the past by Wacław Sobieski, yet over a hundred years have passed and new sources and methodology are available today. The presented research proves that the rereading of sources is necessary, as well as the inclusion of secondary findings over the last century and more. In particular, the article shows that Stadnicki’s activity among religious dissidents was wide and multilevel. It extended to the floor of the parliament at the turn of sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries.
