Simon Grahame

Simon Grahame

Simon Grahame or Simion (1570–1614), born in Edinburgh, Scotland, led a dissolute life as a traveller, soldier, and courtier on the Continent of Europe. He appears to have been a good scholar, and wrote the "Passionate Sparke of a Relenting Minde", and "Anatomy of Humours", the latter of which is believed to have suggested to Robert Burton his "The Anatomy of Melancholy". He became an austere Franciscan.
