    • 1893 [1886], Andrew Campbell Armstrong, transl., History of Modern Philosophy, translation of Geschichte der neueren Philosophie von Nikolaus von Kues bis zur Gegenwart by Richard Falckenberg:
      His opponent, Sir William Temple (1553–1626), by his defense and exposition of the doctrine of Ramus (introduced into Great Britain by George Buchanan and his pupil, Andrew Melville), made Cambridge the chief center of Ramism. He was the first who openly opposed Aristotle.
