Probably already known to this discussion group is that Krumlov in southern
Bohemia was a center for alchemy during Rudolph's reign.
While certainly not conclusive, I find it somewhat interesting that central
Baresch's seal was a rose which was also found in the Rosenberg's Coat of
Arms. Refer to the Athanasius Kircher Correspondence Project at Stanford
University (need to download Luna Insight software to view letters;
search by name for Barschius under Athanasius Kircher Project...; I
had a lot of fun figuring out how Baresch's letter was folded and sealed and how
Kircher opened the letter which was subjected both to the use of a sharp letter
opener, in addition to human fingers; rather interesting.)
