Andreas Leslæus,16 years old, matriculated at the Seminary of Braunsberg in the diocese of Ermland (Warmia) in 1613. He studied logic and was sent to Rome to continue his studies, along with Joannes Leslæus [SSNE 7884], who may be of some relation. Andreas became a Jesuit Priest and was sent back to Scotland to continue his work for the Church.
