Life

After attending the Nikolaischule in Leipzig , he enrolled at the University of Leipzig in 1717 , earned his master's degree in 1721 and was admitted to the university's faculty of philosophy in 1722 as a private lecturer. He devoted himself to the study of law and, after he obtained the degree of licentiate in law in 1722 , was appointed associate professor of poetry.

After he received his doctorate in law in 1724 , the University of Wittenberg appointed him full professor of poetry. In addition, in 1730 he was given the professorship of nature and international law. In Wittenberg he rose to extraordinary assessor in the Faculty of Law in 1733 and in 1735 became a full professor of the institutes of the Academy's law faculty, making him assessor at the Wittenberg court court and assessor in the Schöppenstuhl.

Thanks to his profound specialist knowledge of a lawyer, but also in the field of literature as an excellent Latin poet and expert on antiquities, he achieved a wide reputation. So he rose to the position of professor of the Codex by 1752, where he was assessor at the Wittenberg consistory and, as a senior, took over the interim position of the law faculty. After a serious illness, he almost completely lost his eyesight , but continued to work. After he was rector of the Wittenberg Academy in the summer semester of 1730 and 1741 , he died in 1758.
