Encyclopedia
Iwo Odrowąż was a medieval Polish humanist, statesman, and bishop. He studied in Bologna
and Paris
, maintained contacts with a number of western-European intellectuals, and developed for himself a reputation as a "splendid representative of medieval Latin culture", though no writings of his survive. He served as chancellor to Leszek I the White
from 1206 to 1218, and as Bishop of Kraków from 1218 to 1229.
He spent his youth in Paris
, where he undertook learning. Designated by Pope Honorius III
as archbishop of Gniezno, however he refused to accept this office.
In the years 1220-1224 as Bishop of Krakow, he built a church dedicated to Saint Nicholas in the village Końskie
, establishing a parish in Końskie. Next in 1229 he funded a church in Daleszyce
.
In 1223 thanks to his endeavours, the monastic Dominican Order
