    Krokier Paul

      

    Krokier Paul (croquier, Crokier, or Kroker,)  Junior, was Rector of the College at Racow, from the year 1613 to 1616 ; and succeeded Samuel Nieciecius in that office. In the last year of his Rectorship, he obtained leave of absence, and was expected to resume his duties at the expiration of the time allowed him : but when he came back from France, he excused himself, and turned his attention, as it is thought, to the study of Medicine. Bock thinks that he was the Paul Krokier, who, about the year 1643, undertook the office of tutor to Peter Rzecycki, a noble youth of a celebrated Polish family. He wrote "Ethical Commentaries," to which Ruarus refers, in a letter to Peter Rzecycki.

    Paul Krokier had a brother of the name of John, who was possessed of great natural talents, and was urged by the Synod of Racow, in 1611, to employ them in the service of his Maker.

    There was a person of the name of Kroker living at Lublin, as early as the year 1580, who married the daughter of John Balcerovicius ; and to whom Faust Socin alludes in friendly terms, in a letter to Martin Czechovicius. But it is scarcely probable, that he was the subject of the present article.
