abstract = {The author discusses the supposed Polish form of the Latin name Broscius (Ioannes Broscius (1585–1652)) of a mathematician and an astronomer, a professor at the Kraków University. Broscius was matriculated to the University as Brozek or Brozek, but after that his name appeared only in a latinized form Broscius (including his own signatures). J. N. Franke, the author of the fundamental biography of Broscius (cf. [1] in references) recognized the Polish version in the form Brozek (exposing his opinion even in the title of the book) and after him all authors writing about Broscius shared his view.

The author of the present note argues that such an opinion is not fully justified and presentsarguments based on an analysis of the shapes of records handwritten in the original university matriculation book and – first of all – on historical data of appearance of particular Polish names established by K.Rymut (cf.

The conclusion is that the most probable version seems to be Brozek, a possible one – Brozek, but absolutely improbable Brzozek, since the earliest date of the appearance of Brozek is 1335, of Brozek – 1628, while Brzozek was not noted before 1800.Some remarks on the date of the birth of Brozek are added.},
