From PLATO'S LOGIC, 1897 by Wincenty Lutosławski

Again, Zabarella (1587) in Italy and Keckermann²⁶ (1598) in Poland strongly favoured Aristotle's pretension to be considered as the founder of logic, while Crispi (1594) denounced Plato as having given rise to a great number of heresies. All these works, some containing hundreds of pages occupied with Plato's logic, are devoid of scientific value, because their authors disdained the systematic and detailed study of Plato's own logical theories, and accepted too easily certain late authorities as exponents of Plato's teaching.

Keckermanno Dantiscano secunda editione recogniti, Hanoviae 1606, II. ii. 15, p. 82.   This history of logic, published for the first time in 1598, was also reprinted in Keckermanni Opera, Genevae 1614.   The author proclaims himself a Pole (vol. ii. p. 1009 of his works), despite his German name.

From SOCINIANISM IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND, 1951 by John McLachlan

" ...   Barlow . . refers . .  to two rare works of Adam Goslavius (fl. 1627-38) which he calls 'Gostavius [sic] a Bebelno Disp. De Persona, et idem Libro Keckermanno opposito, de Trinitate'. Neither appears in the Bodleian Catalogue \by Thomas Hyde\ of 1674. There was, however, a copy of the latter (published in Rakow, 1613) in All Souls Library, one of a small but representative collection of Socinian and anti-Socinian works that found their way there in the seventeenth century. "

Oxford 1951, p. 123.
