(Berus), a Swiss theologian and physician, was born in 1486. He taught belles-lettres at Strasburg, where he studied theology and medicine, and afterwards established himself at Basle. He became rector in 1529 and 1532. His rectorate was the means of restoring peace to the university, which had been divided by various religious questions. He died in 1568. He wrote Commentaire sur l'Apocalypse de Saint Jean. See Hoefer, Nouvelle Biographie Generale, s.v.
