Polish-Latin Baroque writer, prolific author of satiric and erotic epigrams.

When well-advanced in years, Zimorowic published a series of descriptions of Ukrainian peasant life, Sielanki nowe ruskie (1663; “New Ruthenian Idylls”), under the name of his more-gifted younger brother, Szymon (1608–29). As burgomaster of Lwów for many years, he witnessed the Cossack rebellion against Polish rule in the Ukraine (1648–49) and wrote two versified narratives of the event: Kozaczyzna (“The Cossacks”) and Burda Ruska (“The Ruthenian Affray”).
