Reuchlin did not long enjoy his victory over his accusers in peace. In 1519, Stuttgart was visited by famine, civil war and pestilence.{{sfn|Smith|1911|p=206}} In response to concerns about growing religious controversies [[Pope Leo X|Leo X]] had Reuchlin's ''Augenspiegel'' condemned on 23 June 1520, claiming it to be "scandalous and offensive" and upholding the University of Cologne's previous condemnation.<ref>{{cite book | last=Baron | first=Salo Wittmayer | title=A Social and Religious History of the Jews: Late Middle Ages and the era of European expansion, 1200-1650 | publisher=Columbia University Press | year=1952 | isbn=978-0-231-08850-3 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BNKd2nSyxPAC | access-date=2023-12-05 | page=}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last=Price | first=David | title=Johannes Reuchlin and the Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books | publisher=Oxford University Press, USA | year=2011 | isbn=978-0-19-539421-4 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CIM8DwAAQBAJ&pg=PA201 | access-date=2023-12-05 | pages=201–202}}</ref>  From November of 1519 to the spring of 1521, the veteran statesman sought refuge in the [[University of Ingolstadt]] where he received an appointment as professor from [[William IV, Duke of Bavaria|William of Bavaria]].{{sfn|Rines|1920}} He taught Greek and Hebrew there for a year. It was 41 years since at Poitiers he had last spoken from a public chair; but at 65 he retained his gift of teaching, and hundreds of scholars crowded round him. This gleam of autumn sunshine was again broken by the plague; but now he was called to Tübingen and again spent the winter of 1521–22 teaching in his own systematic way. But in the spring he found it necessary to visit [[Bad Liebenzell|the baths of Liebenzell]], and there contracted [[jaundice]], of which he died, leaving in the history of the new learning a name only second to that of his younger contemporary [[Erasmus of Rotterdam|Erasmus]].{{sfn|Smith|1911|p=206}}
