LOCKHART, or LOKERT, GEORGE (fl. 1520), a Scotsman, was a professor of arts at the college of Montaigu in Paris in 1516. He cannot be identified with the George Lockhart who was forfeited at Lanark in 1501, but was probably the man for whom James V, writing to Henry VIII, 7 April 1528, requested permission to pass through England on his way abroad. At the Montaigu college he must have been the contemporary of Pierre Tempête, who died about 1530. He wrote: 1. ‘De Proportione et Proportionalitate,’ Paris, 1518, fol. 2. ‘Termini Georgii Lokert,’ Paris, 1524, 4to, with a dedication to James Henryson. 3. He also edited and improved ‘Questiones et Decisiones Physicales. .. Alberti de Saxonia Thimonis et J. Biondani,’ Paris, 1518, fol.
