XX
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries within the walls of the University of Prague appeared about a hundred students from lands administratively under the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Some of their names are well-known, but the identities of others have not been recognised. The students came fi rst of all from provinces geographically closer to Prague, i.e., Wielkopolska (30%) or Małopolska (6%). Further regions were represented as follows: Royal Prussia (23%), the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (5%), Mazovia (7%), Rus (4%), Lublin Province (4%), Podlasie (2%), Sieradz Province (1%), Rawa Province (1%), Kujawy Province (1%). We are unable to determine the origin of 16% of students. The young men represented the nobility (42%) and a slightly larger number came from the bourgeoisie (45%). The social origin of 13% of students is unknown. Among the students were such renowned historical fi gures like Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, Krzysztof Antoni Szembek or Hieronymus Roth.
