Specification:
Fráter Cyprián, born Franz Ignác Jäschke, was born on July 28, 1724, in the village of Polkowice (Silesia). He took his monastic vows at the Camaldolese monastery on Zobor near Nitra around 1753. From there, in 1756, he moved to Červený Kláštor, where he remained until his death in 1775. It is assumed that before joining the Camaldolese order, he lived in Italian monasteries, where he acquired botanical, floristic, and herbal knowledge. He expanded his medical knowledge in Wrocław. In Červený Kláštor, he served as a healer and manager of the monastery pharmacy. He treated not only his fellow monks but also people from the surrounding area. He established a monastery garden where he cultivated medicinal and ornamental plants and fruit trees. Based on contemporary medical books and his own experiences, he prepared medicines, ointments, and healing tinctures. Fráter Cyprián compiled a herbarium between 1766 and 1771, which is the oldest preserved herbarium from the territory of Slovakia. It is remarkable especially from the perspective of the history of botany, pharmacognosy, pharmacy, and medicine. It contains significant botanical evidence, interesting facts about contemporary medicine and pharmacy, as well as about the life of the Camaldolese monks in Červený Kláštor.
