'''Jagiellonian University''' (Polish: ''Uniwersytet Jagiello&#324;ski'') is a [[university]] in [[Krakow]], [[Poland]]. It was founded in [[1364]] by [[Casimir III of Poland]] as ''Akademia Krakowska''. 

==History==

Its development was stalled by the death of the king, and later the university was re-established ([[1400]]) by King [[Wladislaus II of Poland|Wladislaus Jagiello]] and his wife [[Hedwig of Poland|Hedwig]]. The queen donated all of her personal [[jewelry]] to the university. In the [[19th century]] the university was named Jagiellonian to commemorate [[Jagiellonian dynasty|this dynasty]] of Polish kings.

Throughout the history of the University, thousands of students from all over Poland, from [[Lithuania]], [[Russia]], [[Slovakia]], [[Hungary]], [[Bohemia]], [[Germany]] and [[Spain]] have studied there. In the second half of the 15th century, over 40% of university students came from the countries other than the Kingdom of Poland.  For several centuries, virtually the entire intellectual elite of Poland was educated at the University.

The first chancellor of the university was Peter Wysz and the first professors were Czechs, Germans and Poles, many of them trained at the [[University of Prague]] in [[Bohemia]]. The university and the chancellors were partisans of the [[Council of Basel]]. Of the students attending about one third were Poles.

Haller established a printing press in Krakow before [[1500]]. By [[1520]] Greek philology was introduced by [[Constanzo Claretti]], [[Wenzel von Hirschberg]] and [[Libanus]];  Hebrew was also taught.
