His name was there written by somebody else, as I docuemtnt in my study http://hurontaria.baf.cz/CVM/a18.htm Nick,

Jacobus was actually buried in the St.Salvator church, which is part of the Clemantinum complex and faces the Charles bridge. This is the same church where Marci was later buried, and a number of other Jesuits (Arriaga, and Balbin IIRC). One thing I overlooked before…

I'd like to point out, that the important Kinner letter was actually found by someone else. I think it may have been Jorge Stolfi but I am not sure. I have seen a copy of Jacobus' book. The really interesting part of it is that it includes his autobiography in Czech. Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of that (yet). When one reads the existing biographies of Jacobus, one can, however, easily imagine that they are based on an autombiography. Also, details of his life after 1609 are sketchy, and his imprisonment and later exchange for Jessenius are completely missing. There are still more sources for him, which hopefully will become available in the near future. Philip has indeed done us all a great service.
