Justynian Szczytt (1740–1824)

Justynian Szczytt (6 February 1740 – 7 March 1824) was a member of the Permanent Council, member of the parliament (sejm walny) of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

He was member of Szczytt family, which used Jastrzębiec as coat of arms[1] (according to Kasper Niesiecki it was not Jastrzębiec, but Radwan[2]). Justynian was an only son of Jan Szczytt (1705-1767) and his second wife Barbara née Chomińska (d. 1775), daughter of Ludwik Jakub Chomiński, a writer of Lithuania (pisarz wielki literwski, notarius magnus Lithuaniae).

Justynian was educated at Collegium Nobilium in Wilno.

Justynian Szczytt died on 7 March 1824. He was buried in the underground in Dominicans' Church in Wołyńce [be].[3]
