Abstract
This chapter details events in the life of George Eglisham from 1585–1620. Eglisham was born some time around 1585, probably in Hamilton about thirty-five miles southwest of Edinburgh. His name appears in the University of Paris' registers for 1610, attached to the ‘German Nation’, but with his exact course of study within the faculty of arts unspecified. He also appears in April 1610 in the registers of the university's Faculty of Medicine as a candidate for the baccalaureate that formed the first stage in the qualification as a physician. In 1612 Eglisham headed north to the Dutch Republic to serve the Scottish king who now sat on the English throne, in the final stages of the campaign James had orchestrated against the controversial German theologian Conrad Vorstius (Vorst). In 1618 he published an eccentric compilation of neo-Latin poetry and literary criticism in which, styling himself as ‘the king's doctor’, he challenged the late George Buchanan, ‘the king's tutor’, to a duellum poeticum, a poetic duel, for the best Latin paraphrase of the 104th Psalm.
