 Prague – Clementinum: Brief History of Meteorological Measurements
Similarly, even the Clementinum measurements of air temperature and pressure are quite fragmentary until 1774.
However, as the importance of the Clementinum as an astronomical observatory declined later in the 19th century, there were fewer meteorological observations.
The decline of the Clementinum observatory reached its peak at the beginning of the 20th century.

 Classical Net - Composers - Zelenka
Zelenka maintained a long association with the Clementinum which possessed a Jesuit college and university and was a renowned centre for music.
At the Clementinum, church music, school dramas with accompanying music, and Easter oratorios called sepolcra (after the symbolic grave at which they were played) were performed.
Although Zelenka is mentioned as one of a quartet of Dresden court musicians who were to be sent to Venice to attend to the Electoral Prince Friedrich August and unconfirmed reports from the nineteenth century suggest he received instruction from Antonio Lotti during this visit it is not clear whether he actually reached Italy.

 Vincenzo Albrici in Prague 1682-1690 - by Jan Enberg
The Salvation church was built 1576-1659, the Italian chapel built 1590-1600 both in Clementinum, and Carlo Lurago and D. Orsi performed St. Ignatius 1665-70 at Karlovo námesti (Charles Square) as the Jesuits College baroque church of the New City (Nové Mesto).
At the moment it is too early to determine whether some Augustinian or any other congregation in Prague, as for instance in the St. Thomas church, at all employed Albrici situated at Malá Strana in one of the most central parts of Prague.
There are indications that Albrici had connections with different churches and institutions at Clementinum in the mid 1680s.
