Topic: George Buchanan


  
  George Buchanan (humanist) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Buchanan, MA, BA (February, 1506 - September 28, 1582) was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar.
George's mother, Agnes Heriot, was of the family of the Heriots of Trabroun, Haddingtonshire, of which George Heriot, founder of Heriot's Hospital, was also a member.
Buchanan's purpose was to "purge" the national history "of sum Inglis lyis and Scottis vanite" (Letter to Randolph), but he exaggerated his freedom from partisanship and unconsciously criticized his work when he said that it would "content few and displease many.".

Buchanan must have known that it was at his own risk that he expressed these opinions in such a city as Bordeaux—where heresy had, indeed, lately appeared, and where, about the date of the appearance of Baptistes, a heretic had actually been burned.
Buchanan’s translation of the Psalms may fairly be considered one of the representative books of the sixteenth century, expressing, as it does, in consummate form, the conjunction of piety and learning which was the ideal of the best type of humanist.
“Buchanan,” says de Thou, “was born by the banks of the Blane in the country of the Lennox, but he was of us by adoption,” and, in the glowing tributes he pays in these lines to the French and their country, Buchanan fully justified the statement.
