OverviewAs the University of Erfurt collapsed in the early 1520s, Hessus faced losing his livelihood. To cope, he imagined himself a shape-changing Proteus. Transforming first into a lawyer, then a physician, he finally became a teacher at the Nuremberg academy organized by Philip Melanchthon. Volume 5 traces this story via Hessus's poems of 1524-1528: Some Rules for Preserving Good Health (1524; 1531), with attached Praise of Medicine and two sets of epigrams; Three Elegies (1526), two praising the Nuremberg school and one attacking a criticaster; Venus Triumphant (1527), with poems on Joachim Camerarius's wedding; Against the Hypocrisy of the Monastic Habit (1527), with four Psalm paraphrases; and Seventeen Bucolic Idyls (1528), updating the Bucolicon of 1509 and adding five idyls.
