Historical points about Jesuit Gymnasium and
Universitas Vilnensis: are these two institutions historically related? If yes, then how related?
What happened during Reformation & Counter-Reformation?
How did Counter-Reformation through Jesuits in Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth, and esp. "capital" of Lithuania proper - Vilnius, lead to the establishment of Jesuit gymnasium in Vilnius, and this gymnasium was converted into the first university in Lithuania proper, on the frontier of Roman Catholicism in the far North (more to the North and East & West were only Orthodox or Reformed Churches, not the Catholic ones, as evident today from the main Christian religions in: Russia, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark)?
What is the cultural, religious, artistic, scientific, and/or any other significance this Jesuit establishment had over the history in semi-chronologically: PL-LT commonwealth,
Imperial Russia, Interwar LT, both German occupations (WWI & WWII), USSR, and also Lithuania as we know it today?
Of course, at that time (Counter-Reformation) intellectuals spoke Latin, and not Lithuanian; aristocrats in Lithuania proper were rather speaking Polish or Russian/Belarusian/Ukrainian (mixture) than Lithuanian, and Universitas Vilnensis had lectures,I suppose, in Latin (and maybe maybe Polish/Russian or even French?), but also lectures about Classical languages, such as Greek.
