Thank you for the clarification and further understanding. I also
came across a websight which discusses censorship in Bohemia and wondered if
this might have influenced the erasure of the signature at the bottom of
f1r?

sorry to disappoint you, but the article says:
" . . .urodzil sie bowiem na Liptowie w miejscowosci Tepla 11 wrzesnia
1657 r. jako syn Daniela Sinapiusa-Horcicki (1640-1688), poety, autora
waznego dla dziejów slowackiej literatury i kultury.
W czasie
przesladowania protestantów w Slowacji, Daniel
Sinapius-Horcicka przebywal
przez dziesiec lat w Polsce, a od 1677 r.
pelnil obowiazki rektora szkoly
w Nowym Bojanowie. "
-------------
Roughhly translated: he was born in Liptov, Slovakia in ...1657, as a son
of Daniel Sinapius-Horcicka who was poet and famous Slovak
writer.
In the time of persecution of protestants in Slovakia, D.S-H
relocated to
Poland, where he lived for more than 10 years and
since 1677 was a
rector of the school in New
Bojanov.

My comment: Jacobus Sinapius
Horczicky was never called
Horczicka and he was a passionate
Catholic. While Jan could have been
born in right time, he is not
the son of Horczicky. Two things however:
Sinapius, translated in
Czech means Horczicky (adjective, that is "of
mustard"), Horczicka
means "little mustard", and should be translated as
noun, as
(diminutive) of "sinapi". So Jacobus is translated in Latin OK,
Daniel is not (unless the diminutive is also made by "-ius" in latin, I am
not expert in that).
Daniel was - most likely - not even a relative of Jacobus, coming
from
Slovakia, however interestigly enough he lived in Polish Nowy
Bojanov,
while Jacobus was born in "Bojanovice". To your second
link: we do
not even know if Jacobus was born near Krumlov:
there are two
Bojanovice in Moravia and one in Bohemia (not too close to
Krumlov,
but not too far). Tepenec of course is in Moravia, but it wa
sin ruins
when Horczicky was born - so he got it in his noble name
by accident or
maybe for some sentimental reasons). There are also
Dolni Bojanovice
in Moravia, whicj means "Lower Bojanovice" but that
is unlikely to be
the place.
Regards,
Jan
I wonder if there is a connection here to Johannes Horczicky de
Tepenece?
