King See also:Richard III., and the king acknowledged his skill as a debater by the See also:present of a See also:buck and five marks. In 1485 he became See also:prebendary of See also:Lincoln See also:cathedral. About 1488 Grocyn See also:left See also:England for See also:Italy, and before his return in 1491 he had visited See also:Florence, See also:Rome and See also:Padua, and studied See also:Greek and Latin under See also:Demetrius Chalchondyles and See also:Politian. As lecturer in See also:Exeter College he found an opportunity of indoctrinating his countrymen in the new Greek learning.

Thomas Chaundler, invited See also:Cornelius See also:Vitelli, then on a visit to Oxford, to See also:act as praelector. This was about 1475, and as Vitelli was certainly See also:familiar with Greek literature, Grocyn may have learnt Greek from him. He seems to have lived in Oxford until 1499, but when his friend See also:Colet became See also:dean of St See also:Paul's in 1504 he was settled in See also:London. He was chosen by his friend to deliver lectures in St Paul's; and in this connexion he gave a singular See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof of his honesty. He had at first denounced all who impugned the authenticity of the Hierarchia ecclesiastica ascribed to See also:Dionysius the Areopagite, but, being led to modify his views by further investigation, he openly declared that he had been completely mistaken. He also counted See also:Linacre, William See also:Lily, William See also:Latimer and More among his See also:friends, and Erasmus See also:writing in 1514 says that he was supported by Grocyn in London, and calls him " the friend and See also:preceptor of us all." He held several preferments, but his generosity to his friends involved him in continual difficulties, and though in 15o6 he was appointed on Archbishop Warham's recommendation See also:master or warden of All Hallows College at See also:Maidstone in See also:Kent, he was still obliged to See also:borrow from his friends, and even to See also:pledge his See also:plate as a See also:security. He died in 1519, and was buried in the collegiate church at Maidstone. Linacre acted as his executor, and expended the See also:money he received in gifts
to the poor and the See also:purchase of books for poor scholars. With the exception of a few lines of Latin See also:verse on a See also:lady who See also:snow-balled him, and a See also:letter to Aldus See also:Manutius at the See also:head of Linacre's See also:translation of See also:Proclus's Sphaera (See also:Venice, 1499), Grocyn has left no See also:literary proof of his scholarship or abilities. His proposal to execute a translation of See also:Aristotle in See also:company with Linacre and Latimer was never carried out. See also:Wood assigns some Latin See also:works to Grocyn, but on insufficient authority. By Erasmus he has been described as " vir severissimae castissimae vitae, ecclesiasticarum constitutionum observantissimus pene usque ad superstitionem, scholasticae theologiae ad unguem doctus ac natura etiam acerrimi judicii, demum in omni disciplinarum genere exacte versatus " (Declarationes ad censuras facultatis theologiae Parisianae, 1522).
An See also:account of Grocyn by Professor Burrows appeared in the Oxford See also:Historical Society's Collectanea (1890).
