This article appears in Volume V03, Page 255 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALFOUR, ROBERT (known also as BALFOREUS) (1550?-1625?) , Scottish philosopher, was educated at St Andrews and the university of Paris. He was for many years
principal
  of the Guienne College at
Bordeaux
 . His
great
 
work
  is his Commentarii in Organum Logicum Aristotelis (
Bordeaux
 , 1618); the copy in the British Museum contains a number of highly-eulogistic poems in honour of
Balfour
 , who is described as Graium aemulus acer.
Balfour
  was one of the scholars who contributed to spread over Europe the fame of the praefervidum ingenium Scotorum. His contemporary,
Dempster
 , called him the " phoenix of his age, a philosopher profoundly skilled in the Greek and Latin languages, and a mathematician worthy of being compared with the ancients." His Cleomedis meteora, with notes and Latin
translation
 , was reprinted at Leiden as
late
  as 182o.
See
Dempster
 , Historia Ecclesiastica Gent. Scotorum; Irving's Lives of the Scottish Writers; Anderson's Scottish Nation, i. 217.
