He was born in Olomouc, Moravia, entered the Society of Jesus on 1 October 1637, and taught rhetoric and mathematics at Olmutz and Prague. After his ordination he was, at his own request, appointed to work on the Jesuit mission in India, and went to Portugal to await an opportunity of taking ship for his destination.
