He appears to have been educated, first at the university of St See also:Andrews and then at that of See also:Paris, where he took. the degree of See also:doctor. From his own statement, in one of his poems, we learn that he had been in the service of See also:- JAMES

king's earliest years, and that the See also:post he held was clerk of accounts. At the See also:request of James he undertook See also:translations of See also:Boece's Historia Scotorum, which had appeared at Paris in 1527, and the first five books of See also:Livy. As a See also:reward for his versions, which he finished in 1533, he was appointed See also:archdeacon of See also:Moray and a See also:canon of See also:Ross. He was a strenuous opponent of the See also:Reformation and was compelled to go into See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile. He is said by some authorities to have died at See also:Rome in 1550; by others to have been still living in 1587. His See also:translation of Boece, entitled The See also:History and See also:Chronicles of Scotland, is a remarkable specimen of Scottish See also:prose, distinguished by its freedom and vigour of expression. It was published in 1536; and was reprinted in 2 vols., edited by See also:Maitland, in 1821. The translation of Livy was not printed till 1822 (also in 2 vols.). Two See also:MSS. of the latter are extant, one, the older, in the See also:Advocates' library, See also:Edinburgh (which was the basis of the normalized See also:text of 1822), the other (c. 1S5o) in the See also:possession of Mr See also:Ogilvie See also:Forbes of Boyndlie. An edition of the See also:work was edited for the Scottish Text Society by Mr W. A. See also:Craigie (2 vols. 1901, 1903). The second See also:volume of this edition contains also a See also:complete reprint of the portions of the holograph first draft which were discovered in the See also:British Museum in 1902. Two poems by Bellenden—The Proheme to the Cosmographe and the Proheme of the History—appeared in the 1536 edition of the History of Scotland. Others, bearing his name in the well-known Bannatyne MS. collection, made by his namesake See also:George Bannatyne (q.v.), may or may notbe his. See also:Sir See also:David See also:Lyndsay, in his See also:prologue to the Papyngo, speaks vaguely of:
" Ane cunnyng See also:Clark quhilk wrythith craftelie
Ane plant of poetis callit Ballendyne,
Quhose ornat workis my wit can nocht defyne."
The See also:chief See also:sources of See also:information regarding- Bellenden's See also:life are the Accounts of the See also:Lord High Treasurer of Scotland, his own See also:works and the ecclesiastical records.
