1 standalone book

Jonas Radvanas was a Renaissance poet and Protestant reformer from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Little is known of his life; he is best remembered as the author of the epic poem Radivilias, dedicated to the military achievements of Mikołaj "the Red" Radziwiłł, which also paints a broader patriotic image of the Grand Duchy. He wrote 18 poems in total, all in Latin, published by the Calvinists of the Grand Duchy.
