Born on March 10, 1734 in Stará Ľubovňa - Died on March 27, 1789 in Pešť, todays Budapest.

Pantaleon Roškovský was a Slovak composer, organist, and teacher. He entered the Franciscan order in 1755 and was ordained as a priest in Trnava in 1759. He worked mainly in the major monasteries of the Congregation of Marian Fathers (also known as Marians of the Immaculate Conception) in Bratislava and Trnava. His church music (masses, litanies, Marian antiphons, and motets) as well as his pieces for harpsichord and organ belong partly to the late Baroque period, but many already contain signs of early classicism.
