George Buchanan stands as a towering figure of Scottish Renaissance humanism, celebrated for his profound intellectual contributions and mastery of the Latin language. His writing, far from slavish imitation, possesses a unique freshness and elasticity, evident in his acclaimed translations and original tragedies. Beyond his literary achievements, Buchanan penned a seminal political treatise arguing that sovereignty resides with the people, a doctrine that challenged the divine right of kings. His comprehensive History of Scotland remains a significant work, particularly for its vivid portrayal of the periods he personally witnessed.
