He is the author of a number of religious and historiographical works in Latin. His ''Superioris Germaniae Confoederationis descriptio'' (written in 1479) is the oldest geographic description of the Old Swiss Confederacy (called by von Bonstetten the "Upper German Confederacy"; the adoption of the name of ''Schwyz'' developed after his time). The work was presented to the king of France and the Doge of Venice in 1479, and was combined with a description of Burgundy in a new edition for pope Sixtus IV in 1480. Also in 1480, the work appeared in German translation, as ''Obertütscheit Eidgnosschaft stett und lender gelägenheit''. It was edited by Gall Morel in 1847. Provided by Wikipedia
