From 1646 to 1650, Stanisław studied at the Racovian Academy. This was a famous school in his hometown.
His hometown was Raków. It was a large town with about 15,000 people. It was founded about 100 years before he was born. Many people in Raków were Socinians. However, in 1639, the Polish government made a rule. This rule said that only Catholicism was allowed. Because of this, the people of Raków who were not Catholic had to leave. Their homes were also destroyed. By the year 1700, only about 700 people lived there.
After this, Stanisław went to study in France and the Netherlands. Later, he moved to live in Hamburg. In Hamburg, he faced problems from the local religious leaders. Sadly, Stanisław and his two daughters, Catherine Salomea and Griselda Constance, passed away. This happened due to an accidental poisoning, likely a mistake by a domestic servant. His wife survived.
