In the sixteenth-century Poland during the Renaissance period, there were numerous outstanding physicians who, in addition to studying at the Cracow Academy, burnished their proffessional skills also at foreign universities, mostly Italian. Among the contemporary medics, four extraordinary scholars are worth reminding: Maciej of Miechów, Josephus Strusthius, Wojciech Oczko and Sebastian Petrycy of Pilzno. What all of the mentioned had in common was a great desiere for knowledge, diligence, commitment to professional and scientific activities, partocopation in social and political life of the country and great patriotism. As a result of their professional and scientific work, they gained huge publicity in Poland and abroad, evidenced by their merits at the regal courts where they anjoyed the recognition and friendship of the monarchs. They left behind a significant legancy in the form of books on different fields of knowledge, especially medicine.
