RHENANUS, BEATUS (1485-1547)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 233 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
RHENANUS, BEATUS (1485-1547) , German humanist, was born in 1485 at
Schlettstadt
  in
Alsace
 , where his father, named Bild, a native of Rheinau (hence the surname
Rhenanus
 ), was a prosperous butcher. He received his early education at the' famous Latin school of
Schlettstadt
 , and afterwards (1503) went to Paris, where he came under the
influence
  of Jacobus Faber Stapulensis, an eminent Aristotelian. In 1511 he removed to Basel, where he became intimate with Desiderius
Erasmus
 , and took an active share in the publishing enterprises of Joannes
Froben
  (q.v.). In 1526 he returned to Schlettstadt, and devoted himself to a
life
  of learned leisure, enlivened with epistolary and personal intercourse with
Erasmus
  (the printing of whose more important works he personally superintended) and many other scholars of his time. He died at Strassburg on the loth of July 1547.
His earliest publication was a
biography
  of
Geiler
  of Kaisers-berg (1510). Of his subsequent works the
principal
  are Rerum Germanicarum Libri III. (1531), and editions of Velleius Palerculus (ed. princeps, from a MS. discovered by himself, 1522); Tacitus (,51q, exclusive of the Histories); Livius (1535); and Erasmus (with a life, 9 vols. fol., 1540-41).
See A. Horawitz, Beatus
Rhenanus
  (1872), and by the same, Des Beatus Rhenanus literarische Tatigkeit (2 vols., 1872) ; also the notice by R. Hartfelder in Allgemeine Deutsche Biographic.
