(Bartholomew), a native of Bourges in France, a man of eminent learning in the 16th century, educated under Melchior Volmar. He was professor at Lyons, where he propagated the doctrines of the Reformation secretly for a long time; but on the festival of the Holy Sacrament 1565, as the procession was passing towards the college, there was a large stone thrown from one of the windows upon the Host and priest who carried it. The people, enraged at this, broke into the college, and assassinated Mr. Anceau, whom they imagined to have been the occasion, and the college itself was shut up next day by order of the city.
