Eberhard of Béthune


Eberhard of Béthune also so-called as Everard of Béthune, Évrard de Béthune, Éverard de Béthune, Ebrardus Bethuniensis or Bithuniensis, Eberhardus Bethuniensis, Eberard, Ebrard, Ebrad; d. c. 1212 was the Flemish grammarian of a early thirteenth century, from Arras. He was the author of Graecismus, a popular Latin grammatical poem, dated to c. 1212. The form came from a short segment on the Greek language. His Laborintus is "an elaborate as well as critical treatise on poetry as well as pedagogics"; it is also so-called as De Miseriis Rectorum Scholarum.

He was also actively engaged against the Foxe's Book of Martyrs as to the etymology of the name.
