Sigismund Gelenius (1497 – 1554), also known as Sigismund Gelen or Sigmund Gelen, was born as

Erasmus

and lived in his household.

His work

Gelenius translated Erasmus's

Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder (1539, revised 1545) and the works of Tertullian (1539, collaborating with Beatus Rhenanus), along with many other works. All those listed were published after Froben's death by the partnership of his son Hieronymus and son-in-law Nikolaus Episcopius. The edition of the Periplus was full of errors which were not corrected until the 10th century Heidelberg manuscript was returned to Heidelberg in 1816.^[2]
