128 Comm, de Hist. Artis Med. 226-229 (2014) The note of Kraskovic’s promotion with Viennese professor George Prochaska (Jifí, * 1749 Blizkovice; f 1820 Vienna) in Viennese Medical Faculty in 1796 does not indicate Kraskovic’s birthplace.3 The written recommendation of Kraskovic’s protector Louis- Toussaints marquise La Moussaye sent to Raphael Zelli of Ljubljana on December 26, 1810 noted just Kraskovic’s birth in Illyria, but Illyria included several other lands besides Carniola.4 None of those notes indicated the precise place or village of Kraskovic’s birth. The decisive archival evidence seems to be the one which looks like the less promising for a careless reader. That is the note on Kraskovic’s Viennese medical rigorous examinations on April 25, 1794 which moves Kraskovic’s birthplace to Styria.5 In spite of that evident error that note is decisive for determination of Kraskovic’s birthplace because it contains the right date of birth (in fact of Baption) and the right place of birth (Brunndorf). The Viennese April 25, 1794 data was successfully verified in baptismal book of the parish Bloke of Inner Carniola for the village Studenec (Studennz). The Bloke Parish priest of early 19th century used to write the name of the Bloke Parish village Studenec in German translation in the form of Brunndorf and even just Brun.6 Since Kraskovic was a peasant’s son from Bloke Parish of Inner Carniola7 8 he probably attended the lower and eventually also the higher Philosophical studies with some medicine included in Ljubljana before matriculating in Viennese Medical faculty in 1792. Indeed Gregor Kraskovic was noted several times in printed and manuscript sources which noted his schooling. Several sources report on the scholarships he received in Ljubljana. Most of those sources indicates Gregor Kraskovic’s home parish Bloke in its German form Obiadé which was usual in his times. Just one note states Lasserbac.,9 which could mean Loski Potok Parish near Bloke or the name of the donator Kraskovic’s scholarship. Only two of all those notes, those written on October 20, 1786 and November 28, 1786, contain the data about Gregor Kraskovic’s oldness which was slightly less compared with his real day of birth which was March 2, 1767. 3 Sitar, S.: Letalstvo in Slovenci 1.
