GELLENIUS, SIGISMUND, a learned and excellent man, born of a good family at Prague, about the year 1498. Erasmus conceiving an esteem for him at Ba- sil, recommended him to John Frobenius as a corrector for his printing-house; which laborious charge he ac- cepted, and had a great number of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin books to correct; he also translated many works himself from the Greek and Latin; and pub- lished a dictionary in four languages, Greek, Latin, German, and Slavonian. Profitable and honourable employments were offered him in other places; but no- thing could tempt him to quit his peaceful situation at Basil. He died in 1555. All his translations are highly esteemed.
