Description: gravure XVIIIe exécutée en 1713 Pieter Stevens van Gunst d'après Adriaen van der Werff dimensions toute la feuille 28x17,5 cm document authentique et original du XVIIIe siècle#919John Lesley, ou Leslie, (29 septembre 1527 — 31 mai 1596) est un évêque catholique et historien écossais. Son père Gavin Lesley est recteur de Kingussie (Badenoch). Il étudie à l'Université d'Aberdeen, où il obtient la maîtrise en arts. En 1538, il obtient une dispense lui permettant d'obtenir un bénéfice ecclésiastique, en dépit de sa naissance illégitime, et en juin, il devient acolyte de la cathédrale d'Aberdeen, où il est ensuite appointé en tant que chanoine. Il suit également des études à Poitiers, Toulouse et Paris, et obtient le titre de docteur en droit, en 1553. En 1558, il entre dans les ordres et reçoit la cure et le bénéfice d'Oyne. Au moment de la Réforme écossaise, Lesley devient un défenseur du catholicisme. À Édimbourg, en 1561, il fait partie des opposants à la réforme dans une controverse solennelle qui l'oppose à John Knox et John Willock (en). En août, du fait des troubles opposant protestants et catholiques, il est chargé de ramener de France la jeune reine Marie Stuart sur le trône d'Écosse. À son retour, il est nommé conseiller privé et professeur de droit canon au King's College d'Aberdeen et, en 1565, un des sénateurs du collège de justice. Peu de temps après, il est fait abbé de Lindores et, en 1565, évêque de Ross, l'élection du Saint-Siège étant confirmée l'année suivante. Il est l'un des seize commissaires désignés pour réviser les lois de l'Écosse. John Lesley (or Leslie) (29 September 1527 – 31 May 1596) was a Scottish Roman Catholic bishop and historian. His father was Gavin Lesley, rector of Kingussie, Badenoch. He was educated at the University of Aberdeen, where he took the degree of M.A. In 1538 he obtained a dispensation permitting him to hold a benefice, notwithstanding his being a natural son, and in June 1546 he was made an acolyte in the cathedral church of Aberdeen, of which he was afterwards appointed a canon and prebendary. He also studied at Poitiers, at Toulouse and at Paris, where he was made doctor of laws in 1553. In 1558 he took orders and was appointed Official of Aberdeen, and inducted into the parsonage and prebend of Oyne. At the Reformation Lesley became a champion of Catholicism. He was present at the disputation held in Edinburgh in 1561, when Knox and Willox were his antagonists. He was one of the commissioners sent the same year to bring over the young Mary, Queen of Scots, to take the government of Scotland. He returned in her train, and was appointed a privy councillor and professor of canon law in King's College, Aberdeen, and in 1565 one of the senators of the college of justice. Shortly afterwards he was made abbot of Lindores, and in 1565 bishop of Ross, the election to the see being confirmed in the following year. He was one of the sixteen commissioners appointed to revise the laws of Scotland, and the volume of the Actis and Constitutiounis of the Realme of Scotland known as the Black Acts was, chiefly owing to his care, printed in 1566.
