In connection with Cochleus, Emser, Peter Forst, and Augustin von Alveldt,he opposed the Lutheran Reformation in Saxony. He tried to reform monastic life, but could not prevent many of his co-religionists from going over to the Church of the Reformation. He wrote against Luther, but was answered in a satire, written after the manner of the Epistol. Obscur. Virorum, entitled Mors et Sepultura Doctrinae Lutheranae, reprinted in Strobel, Opuscula Quaedam Satirica et Ludicra Tempore Reform. Scripta (1784), Fasc. 1:49 sq. See Streber, in Wetzer u.
