• Resumen

  • Despite the rich literature on Thomas Jordanus von Klausenburg (1540‑1586), the most important physician and scientist of Transylvanian origin of the sixteenth century, his correspondence has hardly been studied. This article presents five letters from Jordanus to the Flemish physician Carolus Clusius (1526‑1609), a famous botanist at the imperial court and the first chief doctor of the margravate of Moravia. The letters of 1574, 1575 and 1585 to Clusius provide a new insight into Jordanus’ scholarly network, including numerous contemporary scholars, his private life only a few months before his death, and his interest in botany, including experiments with sassafras oil
