Primum itaque non aderant alii quam ii quos maxime volebam, Beatus Rhenanus, cuius ego prudenti modestia et acerrimo in literis iudicio vehementer delector, — nec est quicquam huius quotidiana consuetudine mihi iucundius ; item Giraerdus Listrius, medicae rei non 185 vulgariter peritus, ad hee Latinae, Graecae, et Hebraicae literaturae pulchre gnarus, denique iuuenis ad me amandum natus.

Est enim Basiliensis, quam vrbem et alias non incelebrem doctissimus ille Guielmus Copus, alter nostri temporis Hippocrates, sic et moribus et literis illustrauit vt nulli nobiligsi5 marum cedere debeat.

Bibl. d. Beatus Rhenanus, 1889, p. 16. He matriculated at Heidelberg 1 April part in many books issuing from the presses, and also became schoolmaster at New St. Peter's Church.
