Jacobus Sinapius

Jakub Hořčický (in Latin Jacobus Sinapius) (1575 – 25 September 1622), later granted the title z Tepence ("of Tepenec"), was a Bohemian pharmacist and personal doctor of Emperor Rudolf II. The latinized name is a translation of his family name, which means "mustard" in Czech ("sinapius" in Latin).
