Zbigniew Morsztyn

Zbigniew Morsztyn (ca. 1628 – December 13, 1689) was a Polish poet.

Morsztyn was born in Kraków. For 9 years (1648-1657) he was in the army, where he fought the Swedes and Russians during the Northern Wars. His most celebrated work was religious poetry, contrasting with the style of his cousin, Jan Andrzej Morsztyn.

Morsztyn was a member of a Christian sect called the Polish Brethren, which existed from 1562 to 1658. He died in Königsberg.
