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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Vredeveld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004414657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004414655\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 2.00d","brand":"Harry Vredeveld","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965360980223,"sku":"9789004414655","price":271.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_919ffef2-7b33-4753-8c94-336e2772dbb2.jpg?v=1767280057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetic-works-of-helius-harry-vredeveld-9789004414655","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
