He was the author of the following works:--Two
small pieces, in verse, _De Verborum et Rerum Copia_, and _Summa
Latinae Syntaxeos_: these were published in several different places;
_Theses Collectae ex Interpretatione Geneseos; Assertiones
Theologicae_, Rome, 1554; _Poemata_, Cologne, 1558--this collection
often reprinted at Lyons, Antwerp and Tournon, contains 255[2]
epigrams against the heretics, amongst whom he places Erasmus;--a
poem _De Agno Dei_; and, lastly, another poem, entitled _Echo de
Presenti Christianae Religionis Calamitate_, which has been sometimes
cited as an example of a great _difficulte vaincue_. The edition of
Tournon contains also a poem, _De Simplicitate_, of which Alegambe
speaks with praise. To Frusius was also owing an edition of
Martial's _Epigrams_, divested of their obscenities.

[Our valued correspondent, MR. MACCABE, has also informed us that
the "_Epigrams_ of Frusius were published at Antwerp, 1582, in 8vo.,
and at Cologne, 1641, in 12mo. See Feller's _Biographie_."]
