Career
Fifteen years later he was given a position at the University of Vienna by the Emperor Matthias. His greatest work was the Universa theologia scholastica, published in 1626-1627. He died at the village of Unken near Salzburg, and rests in an unmarked grave.
Apparently the parishioners refused to give him a Christian burial because a "hairy little imp" was found on a glass plate among his possessions.
The crater Tannerus on the Moon is named after him.
