JUSTIN (ZAPERTOWICZ) OF MIECHÓW. - Polish Dominican orator and writer, b. at Miechów around 1597-91 (not 1594), d. at the beginning of 1649 (indirect sources give 1642). In the year 1616 he went to Bologna for his studies.

Having returned to his homeland (1622), in 1628 he was promoted bachelor at the General Chapter of Toulouse. In 1634 he is found as prior at Danzig, and three years later as regent of the Studium generale of Kraków. He devoted himself assiduously and with great fruit to preaching. Among his writings, special mention should be made of the considerable mariological work Discursus praedicabiles super litanias lauretanus B. V. M. in duos tomos distributi... (Paris 1642, Lyon 1660 [more correct], Warsaw 1735, Naples 1857; French trans. by A. Ricard, 1868, 1870).
