For the writing instructions of the Lübeck arithmetic master Arnold Möller , he is said to have cut uppercase letters in wood.

The illustrations he created for the Endter Bible edition with commentary by Johann Michael Dilherr , a scaled-down edition of the Elector 's Bible ( Endter Bible ) , received the greatest circulation . It appeared in 1656 and had at least 29 editions by 1788.
