WILSON, Florence, better known by his classical appellation of Florentius Volusenus, was born about the year 1500. He is supposed to have been born on the banks of the river Lossie, near Elgin, and to have received a part of his education in the university of Aberdeen. He afterwards prosecuted his studies at Paris, and was there employed as tutor to a son of Cardinal Wolsey's brother. He appears to have fixed his residence at Carpentras in the month of November 1535. His earliest publication was a theological tract, printed at Lyon in 1539. He next published the elegant work which has chiefly recommended him to the notice of posterity, De Animi Tranquillitate Dialogus, Florentio Voluseno autore. Lugduni, 1543, 4to. Wilson probably continued to reside at Carpentras till the year 1546, when, resolving to return to his native country, he was arrested by the hand of death at Vienne, during the same year.
