# Wacław Agryppa

> Venceslaus Agrippa Lituanus was a Lithuanian writer and diplomat from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Possibly a son of Michalo Lituanus, throughout his life he held various offices such as the Great Scribe of Lithuania (1575–1585) and castellan of Minsk (1586–1597) and Smolensk (1590–1597). A Lutheran who openly raised confessional issues in his stories, Agrippa is considered one of the first writers of Lithuanian fiction. Besides being a member of both the Reformation and the Renaissance humanism movements, Agrippa also claimed that ancient Lithuanians spoke Latin because many Lithuanian words retained some elements of the language.

*Commandant of Minsk from 1586 to 1590*
