He died in Leipzig in 1574. He held classical professorships at Nürnberg, Tübingen and Leipzig, and was one of the most significant representatives of Renaissance humanism in the Reformation. His interests were diverse and his productivity spectacular. 'His numerous editions of the Classics, without attaining the highest rank, are characterised by acumen en good taste'. In critical acumen Camerarius 'holds one of the foremost places among the German scholars of the sixteenth century'. (J.E. Sandys, 'A history of classical scholarship', N.Y., 1964, p. 266/67) He also wrote poetry, produced biographies of famous contemporaries, and wrote on church history, theology and paedagogy. His wrote his works for academic students, explaining matters of style, rhetoric and grammar. 'Der Ehrenplatz in seinem Werk gebührt seiner erstmal in 1552 in Basel gedruckten vollständigen Edition der plautinischen Komödien, welche in der Geschichte der neuzeitlichen Plautus-Philologie eine neue Phase inaugurierte'. (Neue Pauly, Suppl. 6, p. 195). In this 'Notatio figurarum orationis' we see Camerarius at work, this time on the 'Letters of the Apostles', which form a part of the 'New Testament'. Here he gives special attention to rhetorical and stylistic explanations of the text. In 1572 Camerarius published in Leipzig an augmented and revised edition. He added his 'notationes' on the remaining books of the 'New Testament', the 'Acts of the Apostles' and the 'Apocalyps'. The book seems to be rare. We found only a few copies in Germany, Austria and England in KVK) (Collation: Aa-8, (Lacking Bb8), A - Z-8) (Photographs on request)
