Biography

范元琰,吴郡钱唐人。
梁书卷五十一 列传第四十五 处士:
  范元琰,字伯珪,吴郡钱唐人也。祖悦之,太学博士征,不至。父灵瑜,居父忧,以毁卒。元琰时童孺,哀慕尽礼,亲党异之。及长好学,博通经史,兼精佛义。然性谦敬,不以所长骄人。家贫,唯以园蔬为业。尝出行,见人盗其菜,元琰遽退走,母问其故,具以实答。母问盗者为谁,答曰:"向所以退,畏其愧耻。今启其名,愿不泄也。"于是母子秘之。或有涉沟盗其笋者,元琰因伐木为桥以渡之。自是盗者大惭,一乡无复草窃。居常不出城市,独坐如对严宾,见之者莫不改容正色。沛国刘瓛深加器异,尝表称之。齐建武二年,始征为安北参军事,不赴。天监九年,县令管慧辨上言义行,扬州刺史、临川王宏辟命,不至。十年,王拜表荐焉,竟未征。其年卒于家,时年七十。
