  Simon Grynaeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simon Grynaeus (1493- August 1, 1541), German scholar and theologian of the Reformation, son of Jacob Gryner, a Swabian peasant, was born in 1493 at Vehringen, in Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.
He was a school-fellow with Melanchthon at Pforzheim, whence he went to the university of Vienna, distinguishing himself there as a Latinist and Grecian.
The last of the direct descendants of Simon Grynaeus was his namesake Simon (1725-1799), translator into German of French and English anti-deistical works, and author of a version of the Bible in modern German (1776).

 CHAPTER - CALVIN AT STRASBURG, WITH ERASMUS, AND AT BASLE.
This was Simon Grynaeus, Melanchthon’s schoolfellow, who in 1529 had escaped with difficulty from the violent attacks of the papists of Spire, and had been invited to Basle to take Erasmus’s place.
Grynaeus, on his side, loved Calvin, and the two scholars often shut themselves up together in their room.
‘I remember well,’ wrote Calvin to Grynaeus in after years, ‘how we used to talk in private on the best mode of interpreting Scripture.’ — ‘The chief merit in an interpreter,’ said the Basle professor, ‘is an easy brevity without obscurity.’ It is the rule Calvin followed.

It must be remembered that the commercial interests of Frobens press led to the introduction of Erasmuss name on many a title page when he had little to do with the book, e.g.
the Latin Josephus of 1524 to which Erasmus only contributed one translation of 14 pages; or the Aristotle of 553!, of which Simon Grynaeus was the real editor.
Where Erasmus excelled was in prefaces-not philological introductions to each author, but spirited appeals to the interest of the general reader, showing how an ancient book might be made to minister to modern spiritual demands.
