Which Krumlov?[edit]

The original sources have Jakub born near "Krumlov" and studying at the "Krumlov Seminary". Many sources in netland, especially those connected with the Voynich Manuscript, assume that this is Cesky Crumlov in southern Bohemia. However there is another "Krumlov" further east in Moravia (Moravsky Krumlov). The Clementinum school records, cited by Rene Zandbergen, have him born at Bořenovice in Moravia. Moreover the Tepenec Castle (destroyed in 1391) is in the Olomouc region, also in Moravia (see the List of castles in the Olomouc Region). So, is it possible that some or all of the references to "Krumlov" are actually the Moravian one, rather than the Czech one? --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 01:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It should be the one with a Jesuit school. prokaryotes (talk) 22:04, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eau de Cologne[edit]

Here there is reference to Aqua Sinapis ("water of mustard"[)] - on the other language Wiki pages there is reference to Eau de Cologne: more detail perhaps? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:14, 13 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Horczicze in Latin means moustache, given here in old German (1777) https://archive.org/stream/bub_gb_l6hSAAAAcAAJ#page/n165/mode/2up/search/Sinapius (p 95) prokaryotes (talk) 22:02, 24 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

He does have a moustache, but the word means mustard. The source says "Man nannte ſie die Sinapiſchen Wasser, von Sinapius, welchen Namen er ſich im lateiniſchen nach dem Gebrauche damaliger Zeit gegeben hatte, denn Horczicze, Senf, heißt Sinapi im Latein." "They were called the Sinapian Waters, after Sinapius, Latinate name that he had given himself as was customary in his time, because horczicze, mustard, means sinapi in Latin." No mention of facial hair. The modern Czech spelling is hořčice.--2.247.244.44 (talk) 08:29, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

How do I change the 'checked date' for the René Zandbergen entry - last checked 2010 and still accessible. Jackiespeel (talk) 09:52, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Barbara and Celare[edit]

Sinapius was not satisfied with the teachings there, learning Barbara and Celare... Unclear to me and maybe others what this refers to. If it's part of Syllogism it is probably misspelled. --Buckiboy (talk) 20:54, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
