		Jan was inscribed in 1544 as a student in Krakow Academy but left on account of the plague.
		After the king’s Henry of Valois (Henryk Walezy) flight from Poland in 1574, Kochanowski wrote two short Latin poems: the ode, "In Conventu Stesicensi", and "Gallo Crocitanti", the latter being a reply to an attack on Poland by the French poet, Philip Desportes.
		Kochanowski is the first true poet of his nation in point of time, and first, too in excellence until Mickiewicz.

	Treny. The Laments of Kochanowski: SR, Month 2003
		In his foreword to this edition, the late Donald Davie decries the lack of a natural interest in Kochanowski, saying that his status as a canonical figure in Polish poetry "commend[s] him less, now when ‘the canon' is widely taken to be of its nature an arbitrary and oppressive institution" (xii).
		Kochanowski's daughter is referred to as Orszula (Ursula).
		Kochanowski refers once to the Roman Proserpine (Prozerpina, Tren II) and twice to her Greek counterpart Persephone (Persefona, Tren IV & V), yet Czerniawski renders all forms as Proserpine, far less resonant in English than Persephone.

	Orszula’s Death: Grief and Consolation in the Renaissance—The Treny of Jan Kochanowski (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		In this thesis, I use the Treny, a late 16th century collection of nineteen poems by the Polish humanist Jan Kochanowski, as a basis from which to reconstruct a historical narrative of his attempt at self-consolation over the death of his daughter and, in the process, reconsider our current understanding of the Renaissance in Europe.
		In the preface, I examine Kochanowski’s response to the death of his daughter and his subsequent grief as recorded in the first part of the Treny.
		In the last chapter, I focus on Kochanowski’s virulent critique of Cicero, philosophy, and human knowledge and pride in the last part of the Treny for their roles in aggravating his grief.

	The Threnodies of Jan Kochanowski
		Kochanowski repeatedly laments his loss and one senses that the poet is constantly striving to overcome the limitations of language to express his, paradoxically, unlimited depth of feeling.
		Kochanowski was especially interested in the unavoidable universality of grief and bereavement and his mixture of Biblical and Classical allusions speak of the human fate to suffer in this life and hope for better things to come in the next.
		Jan’s mother seeks to convince her son about the happy state of his daughter in Heaven and reminds him of the wretchedness of the human condition from which Orszula has been set free.

		Besides having written great works such as Laments (Treny) and Songs (Pieśni) (discussed in the Oct. 26, 1997 Voice) Jan Kochanowski is also credited with having penned Poland's first tragedy in the Polish vernacular, The Dismissal of the Grecian Envoys (Odprawa posłów greckich).
