Career
Lipsius himself valued highly the work of his Polish fellow-philosopher. Burski"s person was associated with a new institution of higher learning that came into being in the late 16th century: the Zamojski Academy, founded in Zamość by January Zamoyski (who had also founded that city). At Zamoyski"s invitation, Burski, who had been rector of the Lwów Lyceum and a professor at Krakow University, in 1596 at Zamość became a professor of moral philosophy, remaining in that post to the end of his life.
