No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across multiple scholarly catalogs (including local catalogs and Internet Archive) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Johannes Thomas Freig's 'Petri Rami vita' (1575). Given that this is a specific biographical work from the 16th century, the lack of any record in major library databases strongly suggests no English translation exists.

Petrus Ramus rose from poverty to challenge the intellectual monopoly of the Sorbonne. This biography tracks his war against empty scholasticism and his tragic end during the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre.
