As 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.
