a polemic who lived about the beginning of the 16th century. We know nothing of him beyond the fact that he wrote an apologetical work against the Jewish convert S. Fr. Brenz, and his work, Judischer abgestreifter Schlangenbalg (Nuremberg, 1614), entitled. צְרַי הִיְהוּדַים (Hanover, 1615), written in Judaeo-German and in rabbinical letters, which was translated into Latin by Jo. Wulfer, under the title Theriaca ad examen revocata (Nuremberg, 1681), of which some excerpts are found in Eisenmenger's Neuentdecktes Judenthum, 1:134 sq. See Finrst, Bibl. Jud. 3:46; Wolf, Bibl.
