Franconius Daniel , (called Franckius in the Synodical Acts,) according to Zeltner, took his surname from Franconia, which is supposed to have been his native country. Smalcius in his Diary, under the date, July 18th, 1609, calls him his very dear brother in the Lord, an industrious man, and his scholastic colleague ; meaning his fellow Teacher in the Gymnasium at Racow. Lubieniecius also describes him as a very celebrated poet, and a pious man.
Zeltner was ignorant of the occasion, which brought Daniel Franconius into Poland, and induced him to become a member of the Socinian Church. But Bock ascertained, from the Synodical Acts, that he was formerly Rector of a School, in the same place in which Simon Pistorius officiated as Minister, in the Mountains of Silesia, near Tarnowitz ; and that he was converted to Unitarianism by Pistorius, whom he afterwards accompanied, on his removal into Poland, in 1603.
About the year 1609, he was appointed a Teacher and Collaborator in the School at Racow. After this he seems to have filled some other office, probably that of Scribe, or Copyist to the Synod ; for in 1619, he was directed to send to Racow, with as little delay as possible, a neatly written copy of Volkelius's large work, "De Vera Religione," and this task he seems tohave completed in a satisfactory manner.
