Biography

Bavor Rodovský mladší z Hustiřan (1526 Hustířany – 1591 Budyně nad Ohří) was a Czech nobleman and alchemist.
Bavor Rodovský mladší was born into the Rodovští z Hustiřan noble family to Jan Rodovský z Hustiřan and his wife Anna Šelndorfská z Hornšperka. He was named in honor of his grandfather, the elder Bavor Rodovský.
The family was too poor to send Rodovský mladší to university, and he had to study on his own. Among other things, he taught himself German, Latin, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and in particular, alchemy.
In 1566, Rodovský mladší married Voršila ze Šelndorfu. With her dowry he was able to purchase an estate in Radostov, but was later forced to sell it to settle his debts. The family then moved to Prague. There Rodovský mladší again fell into debt, at which point his wife left him, taking their only son, Jan. From 1573 Rodovský mladší worked with alchemists like William of Rosenberg, and Zbyněk Zajíc of Hazmburk, and also found work in the alchemical laboratories of Emperor Rudolf II. One of his alchemical manuscripts survives as part of the Vossiani Chymici collection at the Leiden University Library.
