The cloister of Cistercians in Henryków possesses the complex founding traditions, both monastic and secular. The most complete vision of the origins of the monastery in Henryków gives us the Book of Henryków. The Book of Henryków delivers quite a complicated picture of the foundation. In the foundation of the cloister as many as three persons took part: the notary Nicholas, prince Henry the Bearded and Henry the Pious. According to the author of the first part of the Book of Henryków, the prince Henry the Pious was the only founder of the cloister. The analysis of late medieval and renaissance chronicles give us a quite different picture of its foundation. There are two leading concepts. The first sustained thesis of princely foundations. Its originator was Peter of Byczyna the author of the Chronica Principium Poloniae. The second concept was created by Jan Dlugosz, who ascribed the foundation of Henryków to the notary Nicholas.

The article probes the knowledge of Estonians in terms of medicinal plants, proceeding from the origin of the relevant knowledge. We have differentiated local and lobal knowledge. The concept of locality is closely related to indigenous plants and the knowledge thereof within the community. It is intrinsic of the local knowledge to combine two reciprocal criteria: first, the plant name is characteristic of a particular region (village, former parish, etc.), or, if there is no plant name, there is a recognisable description of the plant; secondly, unique and characteristic use of plants in a particular region. Global herbal folklore is associated with non-native and cultivated species, and can be recognised from among the relevant data according to the specific naming and intrinsic use of non-native plants, or by transferring the name and use of the alien plant to the local species, etc. In most cases, the introduced species do not have a folkloric name and are known only by way of the naming given by botanists. Pharmacies and chemist’s are the first major and recognisable institutions affecting herbal folklore, as the names of the sold drugs coincided with the names of species. The more thorough analysis focuses on how widespread in oral tradition is the name of the drug made of the roots of the wild rose. Likewise, diverse herbal knowledge has also been influenced by popular science books in Estonian, published for nearly 340 years, and is currently affected by the media and the relevant influential figures presented therein. A number of species, which used to be common, have become rare during recent decades and a similar tendency can also be noted in herbal folklore.

The author points out lack of interest on the part of students of various disciplines (i.a. the humanities) for the history of their field of study, which is considered uninteresting and unnecessary. She also takes into consideration different approaches of the scientific milieu towards achievements of predecessors. On the one hand, we see them being treated selectively and unreflectively, when “old junk” is being rejected as useless. On the other hand, there is an aspiration to show the continuity of thought, search for the roots, care for the preservation of tradition, and respect for scientific predecessors. Certain attitudes are manifestations of cultural differences, visible also in the world of science and education. In the consumerist, postmodern, information society, culture in its wide sense is treated as a su-permarket (concept popularised by Gordon Mathews). There is no place in it for the past, memory, tradition, authorities, roots, heritage, continuity, permanence. Everything is subject to individual choices and continuous change. Change covers, i.a. transfer of knowledge, ways of presenting results of scientific research, relations between student and teacher.
