Tasycki Daniel

Tasycki Daniel , of Luclavice, is supposed by Bock to have been the grandson of Stanislaüs Tasycki. He studied at Altorf and Strasburg. Zeltner informs us, that he went to the University of the former place, in company with Samuel Przipcovius, on the 22^nd of March, 1614 ; and there is no doubt that he did all in his power to pomote the Socinian cause there, and at Strasburg, as he afterwards did in his own country. A copy of Faust Socin's Commentary on the first Epistle of John, printed at Racow in 1614, 8vo., with a Dedication to the Senate of Strasburg drew up a reply, entitled, "An Apologetical Epistle opposed to the Epistle Dedicatory of one Valentine Smalcius to the Senate of Strasburg," in which they said, that "it could not be ascertained, although pains had been taken to discover, by whom, and through whom, this Commentary had reached them." But Martin Ruarus, in a letter to Joachim Peuschel, written at Strasburg, A. D. 1616, (Cent. ii. N. 9,) says, that himself caused it to be presented to the Senate ; that Taszycki was the individual who presented it ; and that the commission was executed in the presence of the aforesaid Strasburg Divines. Ruarus adds, "The good men would have acted more correctly, if they had undertaken a refutation of what they say has caused them so much dissatisfaction ; but perhaps it is more difficult to refute an adversary, than to bring an accusation against him, especially to those, who are not over-skilled in the art of disputation, or who are at least distrustful of their own ability."
