Biography:
Belon studied medicine in Paris and became a pupil of the botanist Valerius Cordus (1515-1544) in Wittenberg, Germany. After returning to France, Francois de Tournon became his patron and financed Belon's extensive scientific journey through Greece, Asia Minor, Egypt, Arabia and Palestine between 1546 and 1549. In 1553, he published his observations on this journey, which Carolus Clusius translated into Latin. Belon also published other works on natural history. Favored by both Henry II and Charles IX, Belon was assassinated in Paris in April 1564.

Publications:
- P. Belon, Histoire naturelle des estranges poissons (1551).
- P. Belon, De aquatilibus (1553).
- P. Belon, Les observations de plusieurs singularitez et choses memorables trouvées en Grèce, Asie, Iudée, Egypte, Arabie, & autres pays estranges (Paris, 1553).

- P. Belon, Les remonstrances sur le default du labour & culture des plantes, & de la cognoissance d'icelles (Paris, 1558).

Carolus Clusius translated two works by Belon into Latin:
- C. Clusius [P. Belon], Plurimarum singularium & memorabilium rerum in Graecia, Asia etc. (Antwerp, 1589).
- C. Clusius, [P. Belon], De neglecta Stirpium Cultura, atque earum cognitione Libellus (Antwerp, 1589).

Belon published several works on natural history, including "Les observations de plusieurs singularitez et choses memorables trouvées en Grèce, Asie, Iudée, Egypte, Arabie, & autres pays estranges" (Paris, 1553), which was based on his travels through these places between 1546 and 1549.
