Excerpt from George Buchanan and His Times
Hugo Grotius, even went SO far as to call Buchanan that wonder of Scotland. But what the great Dr Johnson said of him is perhaps most interesting. Ah, Dr Johnson, said a rather foolish Scots man to him one day, what would you have said had Buchanan been an English man? Why, sir, answered the great doctor, I Should not have said, had he been an Englishman, what I will say of him as a Scotsman, that he was the only man of genius his country ever produced.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This engrossing biography presents a multifaceted portrait of George Buchanan, a towering figure in Scottish history. Buchanan lived an extraordinary life, marked by adventure, academic brilliance, and religious turmoil. Born in a humble village at the cusp of the 16th century, he rose to become one of the most renowned scholars and poets of his time, earning a place alongside luminaries like Virgil and Livy. At a young age, Buchanan traveled to the prestigious University of Paris, where he immersed himself in Latin and philosophy. His incisive wit and fearless intellect often landed him in trouble, but his brilliance shone through, and he became a revered professor, teaching alongside other notable figures of the era. However, Buchanan's life was not confined to academia. He served as a soldier, braving the harsh conditions of battle, and later as tutor to the young James VI of Scotland. Through his writings, he championed the Protestant cause during the Scottish Reformation, earning both admiration and fierce opposition from those seeking to maintain Catholic dominance. The book meticulously documents Buchanan's incredible journey, shedding light on the intellectual, religious, and political landscape of 16th-century Europe. Buchanan's story resonates deeply, a testament to his resilience, his unwavering pursuit of knowledge, and his profound impact on the course of Scottish history.
