DLU'GLOSS (John Longinus), a Polith hiftorian, 
born in 1415 at Brzeznick, of which town his father was 
governor. After ftudying at Cracow and other places, 
he entered into the fervice of Zbigneo bifhop of Cra¬ 
cow, who committed all his affairs to his management, 
ordained him to the priefthood, and conferred feveral 
benefices upon him. When his patron had been nomi¬ 
nated to the cardinalate, and fome difficulties had arifen 
upon the fubjedt, Dluglofs took a journey to Rome in 
1449, and brought the affair to a conclufion. He after¬ 
wards vifited the Holy Land, and upon his return to Po¬ 
land was appointed preceptor to the children of Cafli- 
mir IV. Upon the death of cardinal Zbigneo, he was 
charged by the brother of the deceafed with having 
abufed his confidence, but he was able to juftify himfelf. 
Declaring in favour of the new bifhop of Cracow ap¬ 
pointed by the pope, he incurred the difpleafure of the 
king, and was exiled for three years. The difpute be¬ 
ing fettled, he was recalled, and recovered the king’s fa¬ 
vour fo as to be employed in various negociations, which 
obliged him to travel to different parts of Europe. He 
had been nominated to the archbifhopric of Leopold, 
but died before confecration, in 1480. His principal, 
work is, J. Dluglojf feu Longini Hiforia Polonica ; of this 
the firft volume appeared in 1615, containing the firft fix 
books, which bring down the hiftory to the year 1240. 
The fix fubfequent books, which terminate in 1444, were 
not printed till 1711, Frankfort, folio. A thirteenth book, 
finifhing with 1480, with various hiftorical additions, and 
the life of the author, was published in 1712, Leipfic, fo¬ 
lio. This work is accounted correct and faithful, though 
not free from the barbarifm of the period. Dluglofs like- 
wife compofed the lives of fome Polifii faints, and of the' 
bifhops of fome of the fees in Poland.
