At the recommendation of Erasmus he was called in 1517 to Louvain, as teacher in the Collegium Trilingue. In 1519 he left Louvain and went to Wittenberg, which he left in 1521. When and where he died cannot be ascertained. His Introductio in Linguant Hebrceam, and Hebrew translation of some Christian prayers, are now of the greatest rarity.
