Stanisław of Skarbimierz (1360–1431; Latinised as Stanislaus de Scarbimiria) was the first rector of the University of Krakow following its restoration in 1399.
His sermons were the foundation of Polish political doctrine that culminated in the system of Nobles' Democracy ("Golden Liberty") in Poland and, from 1569, in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Along with Paweł Włodkowic, Stanisław framed the Polish position at the Council of Constance, pioneering ideas of modern human rights and international law.
The sermons justified the position of the Kingdom of Poland in its war against the Teutonic Knights.
[2] His Sermons were influenced by earlier works of Augustine of Hippo and Wincenty Kadłubek.
