Stanislaw was a thoroughly educated person and knew several foreign languages. He translated from Greek into Polish part of the work of the Patriarch of Constantinople Gennadius Scholarius, containing commentaries on the five articles of the Florentine Union, which was published in 1586. He was the author of a work on the main truths of the faith entitled Oręże duchowne prawowitego rycerza chrześcijańskiego (lit. 'The Spiritual Arms of the Rightful Christian Knight'), published in Kraków in 1591.^[2] Immediately after becoming the Elder of Samogitia, he wrote to his brother Mikołaj Krzysztof Radzwiłł: "While learning various languages, I forgot Lithuanian, and now I see, I have to go to school again, because that language, as I see, God willing, will be needed."^[3] This was because the Lithuanian language remained dominant in Samogitia, unlike in certain other areas of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.^[3]
