Scotch scholar and historian. Killearn (Stirlingshire), February 1506 - Edinburgh, 29 September 1582. Bachelor of Arts at St. Andrews on 3 October 1525, he had at the age of 14-16 studied at Paris and later often returned to France, but from 1562 onwards he remained mostly in Scotland and England, playing an important role in the religious life, siding with the reformers, and having his part in the political strife. Cf. Dictionary of National Biography, 7, 1886, pages 186-193; D. Macmillan, George Buchanan. A biography, Edinburgh, 1906; L. Bradner, Musae Anglicanae: a History of Anglo-Latin Poetry, 1500-1925, New York - Oxford, 1940, pages 130-148. Dictionnaire des lettres françaises publié sous la direction de Mgr. G. Grente. Le seizième siècle, 1951, pages 137-139. The Scotch scholar very likely never met Plantin, but from England and Scotland he was intermittently in epistolary contact with the printer from 1567 onwards (cf. Corr., I, no. 48, II, no. 230, VI, no. 953; Suppl. Corr., nos. 118 and 128).
