Hi Jean, 

you wrote:

>Olomouc is certainly an interesting city. I think I remember that Rafal
at some stage believed Baresch was born there.

Well, according to new Rene's discovery in Prague, B. was born in Zinkovy near Pilsen  (Plzen). I wrote to  mayor of the town (his father was a hitorian there), but apparently they have no record about Baresh.
The recod in Strahov Library  also claimed Baresh studied with Jesuits in Prague. Now we also know he studied in Sapienza  in  Rome, lay university, but he could make it after finishing the study in Clementinum, Prague, after all.

>Schafner anyway was. Marci studied in Olomouc (Olmütz).

Horczicky was born in Bojanovice, one of those is really near Olomouc and Tepenec.

>Sendivogius and Paracelsus had houses there. Any detail about Paracelsus
settlement in Olomouc?

>About Sendivogius' house, I am told that " not so far from Olomouc he had chateau Kravaøe. This estate was owned by his descendent untill the end of 19th century. Family of his descendent had name von Eichendorf ".

Interseting, I will  write to my associate in Prague about those two to get more info if possible.

>A last one for today about this town: it too was a city where Jesuits had one of their 
centers (like Krumlov for instance).

Right, even more so,  Olomouc ( Olmutz) was also the seat of archbishop. And very  famous  Jesuit school 
raising the world famous musicians and composers (one for instance is Pavel Josef Vejvanovsky), but that was  in 18th century.

       Even John  Ogilvie, patron Saint  of Scotland studied there, see 
   http://www.sjweb.info/history/saint_show.cfm?SaintID=33

On the bottom of this  page 
http://www.vkol.cz/english.htm
there is some history - seems to be that their Jesuits also suffered to be expelled  by Joseph II.
There is still a lot of bias in once mostly Protestant Bohemia against  Jesuits, but in education, they were supreme and in Canada here, they were also the first and best educators, often siding 
protecting Indians against the settlers. Maybe that? why the Indians here were treated much better than elsewhere.

An interesting page about Marci and Olomouc

Also Wallenstein and Slavata studied there.
  In 1566, the Bishop Vilem Prusinovsky invited the Jesuits to Olomouc as part of the Counter-Reformation and recatholization movement. They founded a Jesuit grammar school, which the Emperor Maxmilian II converted into a university in 1573. Olomouc became the second most important university town after Prague. After the decline of the Jesuits, the university became state owned. It was reorganized several times and gradually closed over the years 1851-1860. In 1946, the university was reestablished as Palacky University.  Nowadays the University has seven faculties and several independent institutes and service organization.
