He became professor and archdeacon at Stettin. Earlier, in the 1590s, he was at the University of Marburg, writing on Aristotle.[1][2]

[edit] Writing

He is now remembered for his emblem book Emblemata Sacra (1617).[3] This was followed by the Octaginta emblemata moralia nova (1630).

He wrote also neo-Latin drama, and controversial works in theology. For the Duke of Pomerania, Philipp II, he became involved in writing the church history Pomerania[4]; his preaching in front of Philipp is recorded.[4]
