See also:JOHNSTON, See also:ARTHUR (1587-1641) , Scottish physician and writer of Latin See also:verse, was the son of an See also:Aberdeenshire See also:laird Johnston of Johnston and Caskieben, and on his See also:mother's See also:side a See also:grandson of the seventh See also:Lord See also:Forbes. It is probable that he began his university studies at one, or both, of the colleges at See also:Aberdeen, but in 16o8 he proceeded to See also:Italy and graduated M.D. at See also:Padua in 161o. Thereafter he resided at See also:Sedan, in the See also:company of the exiled See also:Andrew See also:Melville (q.v.), and in 1619 was in practice in See also:Paris.

Oxford, on his way to See also:London, whither Laud had invited him.
Johnston See also:left more than ten See also:works, all in Latin. On two of these, published in the same See also:year, his reputation entirely rests: (a) his version of the See also:Psalms (Psalmorum Davidis paraphrasis poetica et canticorum evangelicorum, Aberdeen, 1637), and (b) his See also:anthology of contemporary Latin verse by Scottish poets (Deliciae poetarum scotorum hujus aevi illustrium, See also:Amsterdam, 1637). He had published in 1633 a See also:volume entitled Cantici Salomonis paraphrasis poetica, which, dedicated to Charles I., had brought him to the See also:notice of Laud. The full version of the Psalms was the result of Laud's encouragement. The See also:book was for some time a strong See also:rival of Buchanan's See also:work, though its See also:good Latinity was not See also:superior to that of the latter. The Deliciae, in two small thick volumes of 699 and 575 pages, was a patriotic effort in See also:imitation of the various volumes (under a similar See also:title) which had been popular on the See also:Continent during the second See also:decade of the See also:century. The volumes are dedicated by Johnston to See also:John See also:Scot of Scotstarvet, at whose expense the collected works were published after Johnston's death, at See also:Middelburg (1642). Selections from his own poems occupy pages 439-647 of the first volume, divided into three sections, Parerga, Epigrammata and Musae . Aulicae. He published a volume of epigrams at Aberdeen in 1632. In these pieces he shows himself at his best. His sacred poems, which had appeared in the See also:Opera (1642), were reprinted by See also:Lauder in his Poetarum Scotorum musae sacrae (1739). The earliest lives are by Lauder (u.s.) and See also:Benson (in Psalmi Davidici, 1741). See also:Ruddiman's Vindication of Mr See also:George Buchanan's See also:Paraphrase (1745) began a pamphlet controversy regarding the merits of the rival poets.
