Michał Dudziński

He joined the Jesuit order on 1 September 1762 and completed novitiate training in Połock. He attended the Połock teaching seminar (1764/1765), and later studied philosophy for three years.

He was an infimae maioris professor in Warsaw (1768/1769), syntax professor in Płock and poetics professor in Warsaw (1771/1772). Later, he taught rhetoric and history in Łomża and kept the chronicle of the local monastic house. When the Jesuit order was dissolved, he was probably staying in Łomża. He studied theology at Vilnius University and was ordained as a priest. In 1775, he was contributing to the magazine “Zabawy Przyjemne i Pożyteczne” (“Activities Pleasant and Useful”). Before 1782, he taught poetics at district schools in Minsk. The last work he ever created was a poem published anonymously before 1784, dedicated to the Minsk castellan Adam Chmara. The grammar book written by him had the form of a language guide.
