In his high school Syriacium in 1611 he shows an outline of the Syrian grammar, whereby he attaches great importance to emphasis and which is followed by his “Orthographia linguae Syriacae” in 1628.

With regard to the Chaldean language, the "Gymnasium chaldaicum" appeared in 1627. In his “Exercitationes hebraicae”, published in 1625, he explains various terms and explains the biblical names of God.
