This letter cannot be addressed to Cordatus, as Buddeus and De Wette state, this results from the fact that he was already in Wittenberg with Luther since the end of May. - Hieronymus Nopus, a native of Herzogenaurach near Erlangen, inscribed June 1, 1519, was a teacher of Greek at the Zwickau school from 1519 to 1537, then Rector in Schneeberg until 1543, from where he came to Regensburg as gubernator wt summus inspector Ecclesiae after becoming Doctor of Theology in Wittenberg. From here he was expelled by the Interim. In the process of returning to Regensburg, he died in transit in Nuremberg on Aug. 9, 1551 (Erl. Briefw., vol. IX, p. 50.).
