{{Short description|Polish Dominican historian}} {{infobox person/Wikidata|fetchwikidata=ALL}} '''Abraham Bzowski''' ('''Bzovius''') (1567–1637) was a Polish Dominican historian. He carried on the work of Baronius. The ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' calls his contributions for 1198 to 1571 "less notable" than some of other continuators,<ref>{{CathEncy|wstitle=Ven. Cesare Baronius}}</ref> namely Raynaldus, Laderchi, and August Theiner.
In 1630 Bzovius funded a scholarship for Polish students at the College of St. Thomas, which was to become the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, ''Angelicum''.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j9AWAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA663|title=Il Collegio di S.
