Mikołaj Hussowski (1480–1533) was a Polish Renaissance writer. Hussowski, born in a poor family in Hussów, was the author of panegyrical works and of A Poem on Bison (1523). This poem is a detailed descriptions of the bison, its life and habits. Written in Latin for Pope Leo X, an avid hunter, it stems from Hussowski's experience in hunting and observing bison, and contains no literary comparisons with ancient legendary creatures.
