This paper discusses life and work of the not very well-known but important 16th century mathematician Scheubel. He was the first to publish in 1555 a German translation of the 7th, 8th and 9th books of Euclid's Elements. He became internationally well-known by his Algebra which appeared in two identical editions in Paris in 1551 and 1552. \textit{Robert Recorde}'s The Whetstone of Witte (1557) -- famous for the introduction of the equality sign -- is based on Scheubel's Algebra. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0855.00013].
