Friar Cyprian: birth name František Ignác Jäschke (* July 28, 1724 Polkowice, Silesia, † 1775, Red Monastery) of the Camaldolese order inspired another upcoming activity: production based on medicinal herbs. Monk Cyprian was known as a generally educated traveller, folk healer, a collector, or even an engineer who excelled in medicine, pharmacy, alchemy, and botany. Thanks to all these gifts of his, he was sought after in the Red Monastery by people from far and wide. He sold them drugs and for the money earned, he set up a pharmacy development fund in the Red Monastery.
