Záviš of Zápy

Záviš ze Zap (c. 1350 in Zápy – c. 1411) was a Czech theologian and composer.

Life

He received a Baccalaureate from Charles University in Prague in 1379, and became a professor there in 1391. He also studied laws in Rome and Padua.[1] From 1394 to 1402 he was a canon in Olomouc, then taught again in Prague. The last time he is mentioned is in 1411 as a doctor of theology.

Works

One of the most valuable Czech medieval songs (poems) is attributed to him. It is called Jižť mne všě radost ostává (sometimes also called Záviš's song)[1] and it follows the text of the song Alle Freude verlässt mich by German minnesinger Frauenlob.

His sacred works were influenced by the Marian cult of the Late Middle Ages. His compositions were based on melodies of some older liturgical works, kept in the archive of the St Vitus Cathedral in Prague.

He is also credited with the authorship of several Latin liturgical tropes:

  • O Maria, mater Christi
  • Kyrie Inmense conditor poli
  • Gloria Patri et filio

It is also possible that he wrote another Latin liturgical hymn, Gloria Clemencia, pax, baiula.[1]

gollark: That and firms.
gollark: And my idea for how the buying/selling would work is that you'd create a "sell order" if you wanted to sell it, and set a price, and your share would be sold as soon as anyone created a "buy order" with that price or a higher one.
gollark: The auctioning could be done with a Vickrey auction, which apparently "gives bidders an incentive to bid their true value", which seems like a good property.
gollark: My suggested way for it to work has always been having meme shares pay dividends (based on upvotes, maybe every hour or after a fixed time or something), giving the creator some of the shares, and selling the others to "the market" (maybe via some sort of short auction mechanism?), then just letting everyone trade them freely until they pay out.
gollark: Investing is a losing proposition, or at least a breaking-even-usually one, sooo...
