After the abolition of the diocese, he lived at the Premonstratensian abbey Želiv.
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.
