Of See also:good descent, his parents were known for generous piety. He owed his See also:education to an See also:uncle, See also:Nicolas de Besze, counsellor of the See also:Paris See also:parlement, who placed him (1529) under Melchior-Wolmar at See also:- ORLEANS

Orleans, and later at See also:Bourges. Wolmar, who had taught See also:Greek to See also:Calvin, grounded Beza in Scripture from a See also:Protestant standpoint; after his return to See also:Germany (1534) Beza studied See also:law at Orleans (May 1535 to See also:August 1539), beginning practice in Paris (1539) as law licentiate. To this See also:period belong his exercises in Latin See also:verse, in the loose See also:taste of the See also:day, foolishly published by him as Juvenilia in 1548. Though not in orders, he held two benefices. A severe illness wrought a See also:change; he married his See also:mistress, See also:Claude Desnoz, and joined the See also:- CHURCH

church of Calvin at See also:Geneva (See also:October 1548). In See also:November 1549 he was appointed Greek See also:professor at See also:Lausanne, where he acted as Calvin's See also:adjutant in various publications, including his See also:defence of the burning of See also:Servetus, De Haereticis a civili magistratu puniendis (1554)• In 1558 he became professor in the Geneva See also:academy, where his career was brilliant. His conspicuous ability was shown in the abortive Colloquy of See also:Poissy (1561). On Calvin's See also:death (1564) See also:lie became his biographer and administrative successor. As a historian, Beza, by his See also:chronological inexactitude, has been the source of serious mistakes; as an See also:administrator, he softened the rigour of Calvin. His See also:editions and Latin versions of the New Testament had a marked See also:influence on the See also:English versions of Geneva (1557 and 156o) and See also:London (1611). The famous codex D. was presented by him (1581) tb See also:Cambridge University, with a characteristically dubious See also:account of the See also:history of the See also:manuscript. His See also:works are very numerous, but of little moment, except those already mentioned. He resigned his offices in 1600, and died on the 13th of October 1605. He had taken a second wife (1588), See also:Catherine del Piano, a widow, but See also:left no issue. He was not the author of the Histoire ecclesiastique (158o), sometimes ascribed
to him; nor, probably, of the vulgar skit published under the name of See also:Benedict Panavantius (1J51).
