He taught at a few different universities in Germany, as he was ousted from his first academic post, due to controversy and fierce debate in Lutheran theology.

A library ticket and a stamp (pre 1900) on the front pastedown, the first title page reattached at its gutter, neatly done, a few annotations in the text (possibly from 1781, a name in the same ink is written and dated on the title page). A drawing on the rear pastedown of a cross with notes, certainly done before 1900.
