Decus Almae Academiae Posnaniensis. O herbie poznańskiej Akademii Lubrańskiego

The Lubrański Academy was active in Poznań during the years 1518/1519-1780, initially as an independent institution and in the 17th and 18th c. as a branch-school of the Cracow Academy. If the coat of arms of the Lubranscianum existed already in the 16th c., one of its elements could have been Godzięba (pine tree) – the charge from the arms of bishop Jan Lubrański, the founder of the Academy. The arms from the times of the branch-school (known from a print of 1738) dispays the arms of the Cracow Academy (two crossed scepters with a crown above) and Godzięba below them. In the 17th and 18th c. the rector’s coat of arms was also used in the Lubrański Academy. It displayed two crossed rectoral scepters.
