, Scottish translator, was See also:born at See also:Perth towards the See also:close of the 15th See also:century
.
He was educated in St Salvator's See also:College at St See also:Andrews
.
He appears to have been in See also:residence at See also:Malmo in 1533, perhaps as See also:chaplain to the Scots community there
.
In that See also:year See also:John Hochstraten, the exiled See also:Antwerp printer, issued a See also:book by See also:Gau entitled: The Richt vay to the Kingdome of Heuine, of which the See also:chief See also:interest is that it is the first Scottish book written on the See also:side of the Reformers
.
It is a See also:translation of Christiern See also:Pedersen's Den rettevey till Hiemmerigis Rige (Antwerp, 1531), for the most See also:part See also:direct, but showing intimate knowledge in places of the See also:German edition of Urbanus Rhegius
.
Only one copy of Gau's See also:text is extant, in the library of Britwell See also:Court, Bucks
.
It has been assumed that_all the copies were shipped from Malmo to See also:Scotland, and that the See also:cargo was intercepted by the Scottish See also:officers on the look out for the heretical See also:works which were printed abroad in large See also:numbers
