Known as Bartholomaeus Nigrinus, Bartholomaeus Schwartz (1595-1646) was pastor of the St. Peter and Paul church in Gdańsk, Poland. The famous poet Martin Opitz, a friend, lodged at pastor Nigrinus' place, while visiting Gdańsk. Both Opitz and Nigrinus sent recommendation letters along with a Robert Fludd. Fludd was connected to the Rosicrucian movement and the Gdańsk edition of the Rosicrucian Manifestos was printed by the Gdańsk printer Andreas Huenefeld (Huenefeldt or Hunsfeldus) (1609-1652). Comenius of Bohemia and Nigrinus had worked in nearby Elbląg on a Bohemian Pansophy. After the poet Opitz died, pastor Nigrinus with two of his associates edited the Opitz poems published by Huenefeld.
