Appointed professor of Oriental languages at Jena in 1789, he wrote for his students a Latin grammar of Arabic, Compendium grammaticae arabicae (Jena 1790), with reading exercises drawn from accounts of the rise of learning among the Arabs. He later taught at Würzburg and Heidelberg until his death.
