Záviš von Zap (1350-1411?) was a theologian and composer. He received a Baccalaureate from Charles University in Prague in 1379, and became a professor there in 1391. 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. A number of songs are attributed to him, among which Alle Freude verlässt mich, which follows the text of a song by Frauenlob.
