Streszczenie: The article presents one of the lesser-known treatises produced within the Polish Socinian movement, written by Johann Ludwig von Wolzogen (ca. 1599–1661), under the title Breves in Meditationes Metaphysicas Renati Cartesii annotationes [Brief Notes on the Metaphysical Meditations of Rene Descartes]. It appeared in print in 1657 in Amsterdam and was reprinted in the series Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum ten years later. In its entirety, the text is intended as a polemic against Descartes’s views and is written as a detailed commentary on the Meditationes de prima philosophia. Here, I intend to demonstrate that Wolzogen’s treatise deserves a close scrutiny. First of all, it considerably contributes to our knowledge of the 17th-century disputes around the Meditations on First Philosophy. Second, it represents the first substantive and fairly extensive discussion of Descartes’s philosophy to appear in the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Third, it is a treatise issued from the milieu of the Polish Socinians (the Polish Brethren) that has been recognized by recent research as having exerted a non-negligible influence upon the development of the progressive European thought of the period, both in the domain of theology and philosophy
