School Life in Krumlov (1599–1600)
Albertus Wroblicius began his education in Krumlov around 1599.
Records from the House of the Poor mention him as a student and singer (discantist) :
- 29 May 1599: “Description of poor students in the House of the Poor, carried out on Thursday after the Sunday of Exaudi 1599. The recorders and some foreigners: (...) Albertus Wrublicius, singer (discantist).”
- 2 March 1600: “Description of students, pupils of His Illustrious Lord, in the House of the Poor, carried out by order of His Illustrious Lord Letha 1600, on the second day of March. They are not subjects of the Illustrious: (...) Albertus Wroblicius, Polish (discantist).
- 18 December 1600: “Description of poor students in the House of the Poor, carried out by order of His Illustrious Lord Letha 1600, on 18 December. They are not subjects of the Illustrious: (...) Albertus Wroblicius, Polish.”
These records show that Albertus was actively involved in both academic and musical activities during his early education.
University Studies and Theological Formation (1604–1611) - Prague & Graz
In 1604, Wroblicius appears in an ex-libris (#4), reflecting his growing scholarly profile. By 8 June 1606, he had completed his Baccalaureus Artium at Charles University, Prague, marking the formal start of his university-level studies in liberal arts.
In November 1607, he was accepted at the Ferdinandeum as a future theologian, gratis. On 5 February 1608, he enrolled at the University of Graz, listed as “Albertus Wroblicius, Mstokiensis, Silesius”. In November 1608, he fulfilled the conditions of his admission at the Ferdinandeum and returned to the institution.
By 8 July 1608, he obtained the Magister Philosophiae at Graz. On that day, twenty-four licentiates in liberal arts and philosophy received the highest laurea under the promotion of the Reverend Father Johannes Gerotto, Master of Liberal Arts and Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty (from the course of P. Luca Vintana). Albertus Wroblicius, Silesian and Auditeur of Sacred Theology from the Ferdinandeum, was promoted alongside them.
Entry into the Clerical State (1611)
At the beginning of 1611, aged 24, Albertus Wroblicius received SPS, Prima tonsura et Minores, marking his entry into the clerical state with the first tonsure and minor orders.
On 11 April 1611, he obtained another degree in philosophy at the University of Graz. The record states:
“Under the rectorship of the Reverend Father Floriano Avancino and with the promotion of Guilielmus Lamormain, Dean of the Faculty, twenty young men were awarded their first laurea in Philosophy (from the course of P. Henricus Philippus). (...) The Reverend D. Magister Albertus Wroblicius, from the Ferdinandeum, was included.”
On 5 June 1611, he defended the Theological Disputation De Verbo Incarnato to obtain the Baccalaureus Theologiae, presided over by R.P. Guilielmus Lamormain, Professor of Sacred Theology. He formally completed this baccalaureate on 16 July 1611. In the same year, he also received the subdiaconate.
Ministry at Kojetín (1614–?)
Albertus Wroblicius began his ministry at Kojetín in 1614, following the departure of Václav Hanzlerus of Plzeň, who had been appointed on 28 November 1610 and left after four years to join the Plumlov estate. At that time, Kojetín had both Catholics and Czech Brethren, but the seigneurial authority and the bishop recognized and supported only Catholicism. Albertus served until an unknown date, after which Urban Chlubný took over in 1625.
1624 - mentioned in Velká Bíteš
1646 - mentioned as V.(iro) - 59 years old.
