Boece, Hector

▪ Scottish historian
born c. 1465, , Dundee, Angus, Scot.
died c. 1536

      historian and humanist, author of an important Latin history of Scotland.

      Boece was educated at Dundee and the University of Paris, where he was appointed regent (professor) of philosophy and became a friend of Desiderius Erasmus. He was chief adviser to William Elphinstone, bishop of Aberdeen, in the foundation of the University of Aberdeen and was that institution's first principal and, as such, lectured on divinity. He received a small pension from the Scottish court (1527–34) and was a canon of Aberdeen, vicar of Tullynessle, and then rector of Tyrie.

      Boece's fame rests on his history of Scotland, Scotorum historiae a prima gentis origine (1526; The History and Chronicles of Scotland). Boece's history is a glorification of the Scottish nation, based on legendary sources, and is more interesting as romance than as history. It had wide currency abroad in a French translation, and the plot of William Shakespeare's Macbeth is ultimately traceable to it.
