GRYNFE'US (Simon), a learned German profeflor 
of philofophy, philology, and divinity, born at Verin- 
gen in 1493. As he difcovered an early inclination 
for learning, he was at firlt fent to Pfortiheim, where 
he had for tutors Gerbelius and Simler, at that time ce¬ 
lebrated for their fuccefs in inftrudling young perfons in 
literature and fcience. From Pfortiheim he went to 
Vienna, where he was appointed to the profelforfhip of 
the Greek language. From this fituation he removed 
to Buda, in Hungary, where for fonte years he filled 
the port of reCtor Of the feminary in that city. But 
having before this embraced the proteftant religion, he 
was expofed to many dangers from the perfections of 
the bigotted catholics, particularly at Buda, where, at 
the inftigation of the monks, he was committed to pri- 
fon. Through the interceffion of the Hungarian nobi¬ 
lity, however, he obtained his liberty ; and upon his 
return to his native country, he Was feiit for by Louis 
elector‘Palatine, who, 1111523, gave him the appoint¬ 
ment of Greek profelfor in the univerfity of Heidelberg. 
In this fituation he Continued till the year 1529, When, 
at the perfuafion of Oecolampadius, he accepted of an 
G R Y 
invitation from the magiftrates of Bafil, to undertake 
the office of profeflTor in the univerfity of that place. 
In 1531 he took a journey into England, chiefly for the 
fake of examining the libraries of this country ; and as 
he brought with him a rtrong recommendatory letter 
from his friend Erafmus, he was received in the kindeft 
manner by the lord chancellor fir Thomas More, who, 
notwithftanding their difference in religious principles, 
took him into his liotife, and made him his conftant com¬ 
panion. He likewife defrayed all his expences, and 
fent him to Oxford with fuch powerful recommenda¬ 
tions to the heads of the univerfity, that he had free ac- 
cefs to all the public libraries, and was permitted to 
take away with him fome manuferipts of Proclus, of 
which fir Thomas More afterwards made him a prefent. 
In 1540, he was affociated with MelanCthon, Capita, 
Bucer, Calvin, and others, for the celebrated confer¬ 
ences at Worms; and in 1541 he died of the plague at 
Bafil, at the age of forty-eight. He was a proficient in 
the Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, languages, and is claffed 
by Melchior Adam in the higheft rank of the philolo- 
gers, philofophers, and divines, of his time. His piety 
and virtues are alfo commended in as exalted terms as 
his great acquirements. He was the firft who publifhed 
the Almageft of Ptolemy, in Greek, 1538, to which 
he added a Preface concerning the ufe to be made of 
that author’s doChine. He likewife publifhed Euclid, 
in Greek, with a Preface, 1533; and The Works of 
Plato; with fome Commentaries of Proclus, in 1534. 
He retouched the Latin verfion of Plato, by Marlilius 
Ficinus ; wrote, 1. The Life of Oecolampadius. 2. Com¬ 
mentaries on the Eiglft Books of the Topics of Arilto- 
tle, on Juftin, on Julius Pollux, &c. 
GRYNj®'US (John-james), grand-nephew of the 
preceding, born at Bern in 1540. After having been 
inftrufted in claffical learning by bis father, he profe- 
cuted his academical ftudiesat Bafil,*with commendable 
diligence; and, in 1559, was ordained deacon, in which 
capacity lie officiated ’at Rotelen till the year 1563, 
when his father was nominated paftor of the church in 
that tow r n. He now went for farther improvement to 
Tubingen, where in 1564, he was admitted to the de¬ 
gree of doctor of divinity. In the following year he 
lucceeded his father as paftor of Rotelen, where he 
chiefly divided his time between the duties of that 
office and the fuperintendence of different editions of 
the fathers, and other works, which were iflued from 
the prelles of Bafil. In 1575, he accepted the chair of 
profeflor of the Old Teftanient at Bafil, which he filled 
for nine years with great celebrity, during which period 
he gained a number of profelytes and patrons to the 
theological fyftem of the reformed church. At the 
fame time he fuftained the rank of fuperintendant of the 
churches in the marquifate of Baden, to vVhich a penfion 
was annexed by the margrave. In 1584, after the re- 
ftoration of the difeipline of the reformed church in the 
palatinate by the elector John Cafimir, he was prevailed 
Upon to remove to Heidelberg, where for nearly two 
years he filled the ports of profeflor of hiftory and of 
jfacred literature. Fie returned to Bafil, however 5 in 
1586; where, during his abfence, he was chofen prin¬ 
cipal minifter of the city, upon the death of Sulcer; 
with which charge were connected thofe of profeflor of 
hiftory and theology in the univerfity. He conducted 
himfelf in thefe employments greatly to the fatisfaftion 
of the church at Bafil, as well as to the improvement of 
thole who ftudied under him. For the laft five years of 
his life he was totally blind, in confequence of the in- 
tenfity with which he had applied to his literary and 
profeflional labours. He died in 1617, in the fixty- 
leventh year of his age. He was the author of numer¬ 
ous illuftrative notes to the works of Eufebius, Origen, 
and Irensetis. Alfo, 1. An Epitome of the Bible. 2.
