Bzovius

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abraham Bzowski (Bzovius) (1567-1637) was a Polish Dominican historian. He carried on the work of Baronius. The Catholic Encyclopedia calls his contributions for 1198 to 1571 "less notable" than some of other continuators, [1], namely Raynaldus, Laderchi, and August Theiner.
