Hattala was born in Trstená. He studied theology in Vienna and was ordained a Catholic priest in Esztergom in December 1848. He was a faculty member of the University of Prague, where he taught from 1854. He was also a member of the academies of Bohemia and Russian Empire. He died in Prague in 1903.

His collection of work was purchased and is now part of the Library of Congress’s Slavic collection.
