From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Michał Mostnik (also known as in Latinized form as Pontanus or by his German name Michael Brüggeman(n)) (1583-1654) was a Lutheran pastor, preacher and translator living in the town of Smołdzino (German Schmolsin).

Acting on the request of the last Gryphite duchess, Anna von Croy, Mostnik translated several liturgical texts, hymnals, prayer books and funeral speeches into Slovincian, a dialect of Kashubian. He also preached regularly in that language.
