Andrew, a learned Jesuit, was born at Antwerp on the 12th of September 1552. He studied philosophy at Louvain, and subsequently became teacher of rhetoric there, but the disturbances in the Low Countries obliged him to retire to Douay in 1577. Shortly after we find him in Paris assisting Busbecq in his literary pursuits. After spending nearly two years in the French capital, he went to Spain, and obtaining the intimacy of some persons of influence about the court of Philip II., he was made professor of Greek at Toledo, and afterwards was elevated to the chair of Greek and Rhetoric in Saragossa. Becoming a Jesuit in 1586, he taught theology for some time, until an invitation to Rome induced him to leave Spain. He was made professor of rhetoric in the Jesuits' college of the Italian capital, where, after remaining for three years, he obtained leave to proceed to his native town of Antwerp. Here he spent the rest of his days in literary engagements. He died on the 23rd of January 1629. Schott, who is more celebrated for learning than genius, Schrevelles was a man of simple manners and of an industrious life. He was greatly devoted to letters, and although a Jesuit, he esteemed it always an honour to be introduced to any man who had the character of being a scholar, without too nicely inquiring whether he was a Roman Catholic or a Protestant. His works amounted in all to forty-seven, of which the following are the most important:—Laudatio funebris Ant. Augustini, Archiep. Tarracensis, Leyden, 4to, 1586; Vita comparata Aristotelis ac Demosthenis, Augsburg, 4to, 1603; Hispania Illustrata, Frankfurt, 4 vols., 1603–8; Theanurus, from the best authors, Antwerp, 1607; Hispaniae Bibliotheca, Frankfurt, 4to, 1608; Adagia, a collection of Greek proverbs, Antwerp, 1612; Observationum Humanarum libri quinque, Hansu, 1615; Tabulae rei nummariae, Antwerp, 1616. Schott likewise edited numerous ancient authors, such as Aurelius Victor, Pomponius Mela, Orosius, St Basilus, and Theophylactus.
