Almost nothing is known about the identity of the wizard, it is unknown where he came from, as found in Galicia, where he received a professional skill, under any circumstances, cut short his life. According found in Warsaw Church documents from Buchach, in 1751 the "altar sculptor John George married Elizabeth Kiytovoy, widow.
