Lutheranism penetrated into Poland by 1520, Calvinism
by 1534, the Bohemian Brethren by 1548, and the
Anabaptists by 1533, preceding the Calvinists by one
year (Kubala, Orzechowski, p. 100, n. 23).

1543, as the Constitution in the Volumina legum, vol.

It is of considerable interest to note the various
royal and ecclesiastical measures of Sigismund I’s
reign against the Reformation. In 1520, by the Edict
of Thorn, the importation and sale of Luther’s works
was prohibited; in 1523 censorship and search of
residences was introduced; in the same year the
heretics of Łęczyca were excommunicated, and in 1527
the synod of Łęczyca renewed the Inquisition; in
1534 the Poles were forbidden to resort to foreign
educational institutions; in 1541 the Polish nobles
were forbidden to harbor heretics under penalty of
deprivation of nobility rights; and in 1544 the
Polish clergy abroad were ordered to return home
under penalty of deprivation of their benefices
(Kubala, Stanisław Orzechowski, p. 100, n. 22).
