Among his theological works is Isagoge, a shortened version of the Bible written in Latinhexameter style. Other works are Flores Sapientiæ Divinæ and Piæ Precatiunculæ. He published several historical works written in Latin verses. His translation of a quiz book by the German priest Michael Saxe, first published in 1602, became very popular and was reissued several times. The book became known as Prestepina, as even priests had a hard time to give correct answers to the intricate biblical questions. [2][3]
