After he had worked there as a lecturer and had the prospect of a professorship in the institutions , he was embroiled in an intrigue of Julius Pacius. He went to the University of Basel , where he, by Franz Hotomann promoted on April 16, 1589 to the doctor of jurisprudence doctorate . He then went on various trips, moving to Altdorf University , where he met Donellus again and gave lectures on the institutions.
Supported by Donellus, he became professor of the institutions, then took over the professorship of the Pandects and after Petrus Wesenbeck's departure from Altdorf, he took over the first legal professorship at the Nuremberg Academy.
