Initial school references refer to him as comng from Horn, Austria. When enrolling at the University of Rostock, he put down Hernals--now a part of Vienna (Wien), Austria--as his home. He attended medical school in Wittenberg, Germany; Rostock, Germany (entered 1635); and Leyden, Holland.(1639). Because of the religious conflict of the time, he could not return to Austria and ended up practicing medicine in Lund, where he became a canon at Lund Cathedral. To see a letter he sent Ole Wurm, the Danish, court physician, asking for help in obtaining a degree, go to: http://archive.org/details/olaiwormiietade01bartgoog.
The letter, dated February 1637, indicates that he had been to see Ole Wurm the previous fall in 1636, and now wanted to follow through on getting the degree. Check :"Hupfauff" in Google Books to see the names of early medical texts he co-authored in Wittenberg (1630)
Father was Melchior Hupfauf, apotheke at Horn, Austria from 1598 to 1620, and burgomaster from 1614-1616. After the imperial troops came to Horn in 1620, he was forced to give up his practice because of his faith, and he died two years later. He is said to be from Leipzig. His first wife was Mary Magdalena, and their children were Hans Melchior and Ana. (Composite of several online Google books)
