virtutibus et meritis Eius ac laboribus in Scholis Piis cum existeret ...,” Letter by Fr. Wyszynski dated August 5, 1752, DW, Annal. 3, f. 20 r-v, a, Note 46. Positio 740. 6. Positio 720. 7. One of the inaccuracies that caused quite a confusion in the process was an erroneous claim that Fr. Papczynski left the Pi- arists because he wanted to found a new religious institute, and because of this he deserved the hate and persecution at the hands of his Piarist confreres. PP ff. 109 v-110 r; 174 r-v; 175 v; 316 v-317 r; 317 v-318 r. If this was indeed the case, Fr. Pap- czynski would have mentioned it in his Apology , where the rea- sons for his leaving the Piarist Order are given, Positio 249. 8. L. Gorski, Krotka wiadomosc historyczna o zalozeniu Zakonu Ksiezy Marianow w Polsce i o zyciu ks. Stanislawa Papczynskiego, Pamietnik Religijno-Moralny , Series 1, 5 (1843), pp. 293-315. 9. He wrote about Leporini’s biography: “Even if ‘Vita Funda- toris‘ is interesting for its ancient character and the fact that it mentions events which were not mentioned anywhere else, it was, nonetheless, written without paying sufficient attention to the requirements of historical criticism. We are dealing here with a popular eulogy or a panegyric.” Navikevicius, pp. 23-24. Preface 29
