Jan Benisławski (1735–1812) was a Polish clergyman who was the coadjutor bishop of Mohilev and the titular bishop of Gadara.[1]
Biography
[edit]Benisławski was born in 1735 in Inflanty Voivodeship and entered the Jesuit Order.[2] In 1773, the Jesuits were suppressed by the papal brief titled Dominus ac Redemptor, and Benisławski then went to work for the National Education Commission which was created in that same year.[3] In 1782, Catherine II made Benisławski the coadjutor bishop of Mohilev, and Benisławski received the pope's recognition of the Mohilev diocese in 1783.[4] According to historian Gustaw Manteuffel, Benisławski also authored works on theology.[2]
Benisławski died in 1812. According to Kasper Niesiecki, Benisławski was a recipient of the Order of the White Eagle and Order of Saint Stanislaus.[5]
