Moscorovius Andrew

Moscorovius Andrew,  (Polon. Moskorzowski,) was the son of Jerome Moscorovius. It is remarked, in the Proceedings of the Synod of Racow, A. D. 1624, that he was about to write, in Latin, a History of the Reformed Church in Poland; but in the year 1625, the Synod allowed him to change his subject, for the purpose of entering the lists against James Martini.

Andrew Moscorovius had a son, Jerome Gratus Moscorovius, who was heir to the estate of Czarcow, and patron of the Church assembling there. Many others bearing the name of Moscorovius are mentioned in the Synodical Acts, as belonging to the Socinian Church. At the table of one of these, Gittichius and Ruarus, in the year 1642, had a dispute on the subject of Fasting; and Gittichius, in a letter to Ernest Sohner, written at Altorf, mentions the death of the younger Moscorovius, in the twenty-seventh year of his age, of whom his father, and all the Brethren in the University of that place, entertained great hopes. John Crellius states, in a letter to Martin Ruarus, that Christopher G., the son of Moscorovius died of dysentery at Czarcow, in the year 1624. Andrew Christian Moscorovius a Moscorow, who affixed his name to the letter, written by Christopher Morstinius on behalf of Ruarus, when he was threatened with banishment in 1639, was the son of Jerome. Stanislaus Cassimir Moscorovius  is also mentioned as having presented to Micraelius a copy of Faustus Socinus's work "On Christ the Saviour," which Socinus himself had given to some one, as a token of friendship, on the 12th of August, 1600.
