Sources are scarce for Vilnius houses in the sixteenth century. Therefore, the information provided by the Jesuit sources on one such house is valuable and revealing.
\nIn 1568, Valerian Protasewicz, the bishop of Vilnius, bought a house for the future Jesuit College. At that time, the house was the property of Nicolas Jasie\u0144ski (Jasi\u0144ski, Jarzi\u0144ski), who had inherited it from his father, Albert. Albert Jasie\u0144ski received this house from his brother, archdeacon Joseph Jasie\u0144ski. The early histories of Vilnius Jesuit College provide some characteristics of the house. In 1570, Francis Sunyer, the first Jesuit Provincial in Poland and Lithuania, described the house as firm, well-built and situated in a splendid location next to the Bishops\u2019 Palace in Vilnius. The house had a beautiful and solemn entrance. The excellent cellars were behind and under the building. Multiple upper rooms were covered with vaults and grouped around a courtyard. Two fountains were supplied with water from the municipal aqueduct next to the kitchen. The house also had a garden that was not big but rather beautiful. The living rooms were numerous and of high quality. One of the rooms was especially spacious, square in plan and decorated with fabrics and images. This room was deemed suitable for special occasions. Next to this room was the chapel, which was beautiful and lavishly furnished with fabrics and images. It also had expensive floors. At least 30 persons comfortably lived in the house, and a school was functioning.
\nA short history of the first two years of Vilnius College describes the house of Jasie\u0144ski as probably the best in Vilnius. The house had a hypocaustic heating system. World maps decorated the house hall, and the heated rooms contained many fabrics and images. The house also contained a library.
\nThe Jesuit archive in Rome also houses the index of documents concerning the legal history of the house. From it, we learn that between 1536 and 1550, archdeacon Joseph Jasie\u0144ski formed his property from two houses and adjacent areas. In 1536, Jasie\u0144ski was given a house by bishop Paul of Holszany. This house had been acquired from George, the bishop of Lutsk. In 1539, Jasie\u0144ski bought neighbouring land. In 1549, he acquired the privilege of using the city aqueduct of the Bishops\u2019 palace. In 1550, he bought a house built in 1504 by organist loannus Cicchi on the land given to him by bishop Paul of Holszany.
\nThus, thanks to Jesuit archives, we know many interesting details about this rich house that bishop Valerian Protasewicz acquired for the Jesuit College in Vilnius.
