François Vatable
François Vatable (late 15th century – 16 March 1547) was a French humanist scholar, a Hellenist and Hebraist.
Life
Born in Gamaches, Picardy, he was for a time rector of Bramet in Valois. In 1530 Francis I of France appointed him as one of his Royal Lecturers in what afterwards became known as the Collège de France. Vatable got the chair of Hebrew. At a later date a royal grant conferred upon Vatable the title of Abbot of Bellozane, with the benefices attached thereto. Vatable is regarded as the restorer of Hebrew scholarship in France, and his lectures in Paris attracted a large audience including Jews. He was known by his immense erudition, his gift of communication, his talent as a teacher and the support of his listeners. His work is not very extensive, but very admired.
Vatable died in Paris.
Works
He published no works of his own, but in his early years (1518 onwards as an assistant to Lefèvre d'Etaples) he procured new Latin translations and editions from the Greek works by The Philosopher as Aristotle was known. These works were inquiries in physics, human and animal nature, psychology, astronomy, and meteorology (Physica, De caelo, De anima, De generatione et corruptione, Meteorologica, and the so-called Parva naturalia (minor tracts on physical phenomena)). These became standard textbooks of Universities throughout Europe.

Without A Doubt
by: Voodoo BlueAs. You. You look at the life you're living and you fall down and CRY
And you look at the cards you're given and you don't, don't know WHY
GET UP, STAND UP, and tell them to their face
I look at the life I'm living now, and I make NO MISTAKES
Confidence beyond compare
And I'm not scared
I've come prepared
In the end
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Without a doubt
No matter how hard you TRY to justiFY
Just how the LAWS of NATURE APPLY
You'll be given LIFE ON A PLATE, but still I cannot RELATE
If I was you, I'd RATHER JUST DIE
Well, as you look at the life you're living and you fall down and cry and
You look at the cards you're given and you don't know why
You try to get up, stand up, and tell them to their face
I look at the life I'm living now, and I make no mistakes
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Without a doubt
Yeah, a prisoner in my skin
Yeah, I'm never fitting in
Without a doubt
You might try to shut me out
In turn I try to learn to apply
Without a doubt
You'll find what it's all about
Is life worth living?
Am I still breathing?
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt...
Without a doubt
Is life worth living?
Am I still breathing?
