He seems to have been a man of ancient gravity and a chaste guardian of religion, such that GEORGE FABRICIUS of Chemnitz also writes of him: that nothing in him was not composed for severity, and that he used the saying more frequently:

Among seculars, trifles are trifles, but among priests, they are blasphemies.

He passed away in the year 1519 at Meissen, to which the Academy had been transferred because of the fear of a pestilential disease burning at Leipzig that year. Concerning his family, there is nothing that we could add. Indeed, another person of the same name flourished at that time, who after the death of ours in the year 1521 assumed the office of Dean of Philosophers: Andreas Hundt also flourished, who in the year 1512 of the same century attained the same dignity, but whether both pertain to the family of ours is not certain. Our man, however, left many writings, which were outstanding for the reason of that age, and confirm that the man was endowed with much learning and varied science. A designation of them until the year 1514 was given to us by that anonymous contemporary writer, in the Century of distinguished writers who flourished in the most famous academies, especially those of Leipzig, Wittenberg, and Frankfurt on the Oder, edited by JOHN JOACHIM MADER. No. XLVIII, and among other things, pertains here: Regimen against certain diseases of the chest, against the gout, against the French disease. see Riviniana Library, p. 237, no. 2221. Some of his Manuscripts are also preserved in the Leipzig Pauline Library, as testified by JOACHIM FELLER in the Catalog of Manuscript codices of the Pauline Library, page 422, no. g.
