Błogosławiony Bogumił w świetle „Vitae sanctorum quattor fratrum Polonorum eremitarum camaldunensium…” Marcina Baroniusa
Blessed Bogumilus according to Martinus Baronius’s “Vitae sanctorum quattor fratrum Polonorum eremitarum camaldunensium…”

Summary/Abstract: The present article regards b. Bogumił’s story written by Martinus Baronius in his own book Vitae sanctorum quattor fratrum Polonorum eremitarum camaldunensium. It constitutes an alternative history to the known legend about the eremite of Dobrów, as the author identifies him with archbishop Włościbór, who lived in the 13th century. This gave ground to questioning the significance of Vitae sancto-rum, although it seems that Vitae Dobroviensis was based on it. It is therefore worth to look once again at b. Bogumił’s story written by Martinus Baronius in the begin-ning of the 17th century.
