A poem by him in praise of Freiburg was printed through a bookseller-friend—Jerome Husaerus of Bludenz—by John Schott at Strasburg, 7 March 1515. But this edition was badly executed, and in the summer of 1515 he went to Basle, where he republished his poem with a preface dated 1 August, and also began to work with Froben (cf. Ep. 358 introd.). By 1516 he was again at Freiburg, lecturing on poetry and petitioning for a regular appointment as lecturer, which he subsequently received. On 15 March 1517 he addressed a Carmen Paraeneticum, printed at Basle, to Philip, Count Palatine of the Rhine. In the spring of 1519 with many of his fellow-professors he fled to Constance, because of the plague, and wasaway till March 1520. During his absence he published his poem on Freiburg again with Froben, April 1519; prefixing to it a poem on St. 5. Nolumus D. Lambert, Freiburg’s patron saint. On his return he contributed a letter in defence of Erasmus to the Epistolae eruditorum virorum, Basle, Froben, Aug. 1520. In March 1521 he received the poet's laurel at Worms. By rser he had begun to favour Luther, and in spite of University protests he was still inclining towards the Reformers in 1523 (VE. 349); but he did not go far in that direction. The remainder of his life was spent at Freiburg; until he went to Strasburg for an operation, of which he died (ZE. 125). See Schreiber, Gesch. d. Univ. Freiburg, i. 85-91 ; Bocking ; and J.
