Scots Had Wizard

Michael Scott was the medieval Scot
fish wizard of sage celebrated by Sir
Walter Scott In his Lay Of the Last
Minstrel" Michael Scott is supposed
to have been the astrologer Of the. day
Of Emperor Frederick II, who lived
from 1894 to 1850, and he Is said to
have translated for the emperor
through the Arabic-some Of Aristotle's
works, with commentaries by Aver
rhoes. An allusion to the sage in
Dante's Inferno" shows that Michael
Scott must have already been noted
throughout Europe as magician at the
period In which the poet lived.
Some authorities have identified the
wizard with Sir Michael Scott OF Bal
wearie, near the lang toon" Of Kirk
caldy, In Fifeshire. In Scottish Dor
der folklore the "wondrous wizard" Is
credited with having "cleft the tweed
with a curb Of stone" His grave is
shown In Melrose abbey.-Detroit
