---
Bohemian composer and scholar. He received his education within the
Piarist system, completing his studies in philosophy and theology at the
order's schools. As a member of the Piarist Order, he was obligated to
teach. He excelled not only in music but also in scientific and
scholarly pursuits, which was characteristic of the Piarist educational
tradition. He is known to have published works on optics and related
sciences, demonstrating a broad intellectual scope typical of
Baroque-era priest-scholars. His musical activities were primarily
centered around the institutions of his order in Bohemia and Moravia,
including schools and churches. He used the Latinized pseudonym Antonín
Maschat (or Remigius Maschat) for some of his work, which has sometimes
led to confusion with other contemporary composers. His extant works are
entirely sacred, including one Requiem, the Missa 'Sancti Attalae
Abbat', litanies, and offertories.
