 BARAN, in Geography, a river of Hindoftan, in the 

 province of Cabul, which is joined by the rivers Chugan- 

 ferai, Alifliung, and Alikar, in the diftrift of Kameh, and 

 then runs eaftw-ard or fouth-eaftward. But it is not abfo- 

 lutely certain whether thefe confluent rivers join the river of 

 Cabul above Paidwwur, or whether they form a feparate 

 river, and pafs by Bijore and Sewad. 



Major Rennell thinks the former to be the moft probable, 

 and that the confluent river receives the name of Kameh, 

 from the dillrift in which the junflion takes place, and then 

 communicates it to the Cabul river, during the remainder 

 ofitscourfe. Rennell's Mem. p. 156.

 fiderable commerce ; as the merchandife of New Granada 

 is brought down hither by boats, and conveyed to the bay 

 about 40 miles below the town, or elfe direftly to Santa 

 Martha, by a branch of the great river ; the chief article is

BARANGI, officers among the Greeks of the lower 

 empire, whofe bufinefs it was to keep the keys of the city- 

 gatts where the emperor refided. 



Codinus fays, that the barangi were thofe who flood 

 guard at the door of the emperor's bed-chamber and dining- 

 room. 



Codinus and Curopalata obferve, that the name is Englifh, 

 formed from bar, tojijtit ; and that the barangi were Eng- 

 lifhmen by country ; AngloDancs, who, being driven out 

 of England, were received into the fervice of the emperor 

 of Conllantinople, and made guards or protcftors of his 

 peTfon. Whence they are called in Latin, by Cujaccius, 

 prole&ores ; by others, fecvrigeri, as being armed with a 

 batlle-nx, fecuris. Codinus adds, that they ftill fpoke the 

 Englifh tongue. Anna Comnena fays, the barangi came 

 from the ifland Thule, by which is doubtlefs meant our 

 illand. Yet Nicetas makes them Germans ; a miftake eafy 

 to be made at that diftance, confidering the relation the 

 Anglo-Saxons bore to Germany. There were barangi as 

 early as the emperor Michael Paphlagonius, in the year 

 1035, as appears from Cedrenus ; but they were then only 

 commo.i-foldiers, not a life-guard. 



Their commander was called ajtoX«9®', as importing a per- 

 fon who always followed the emperor.

BARANZANO, Redemptus, in ZJ/ofra/Aji, a Barna- 

 bite friar, was born in 1590, at Saraville, a town of Verceil, 

 in Piedmont, and obtained eminence at the commencement 

 of the feventeenth century, by darir.g to abandon the Ari- 

 llotelian method of philofophy. Tliat he coincided in his 

 ideas with thofe of the illuftrious lord Bacon, appears from 

 a letter written to him on this fubjeft, by this reftorer of 

 philofophy, in June 1622, and preferved in the third volume 

 of " Niceron's Memoirs." Having taught mathematics and 

 philofophy at Anneci, he went to Paris, and formed an inti- 

 mate friendftiip with La Mothe le Vayer, who fpeaks of 

 him (Oeuvr. i2mo. fom. iv. p. 172.) as one of the firft wits 

 of the age. He adds, that this honeft Barnabite had feve- 

 ral times affured him, but always with fubmiflion to the 

 good pleafure of God, that he would appear to him, if he 

 fiiould depart firft out of this world. However his promife 

 was not fulfilled, and he verified the fentence of a Latin 

 poet, Catullus, Epigr. iii. 



" Qui nunc it per iter tenebricofum 



Illuc, unde negant redire quanquam." 

 " He pafTed the dark and dreary way 



From whence there's no return to the bright genial 



day." 



He died at Montargis in 1622: His works are " Urano- 



fcopia," or the univerfal dodlrine of the heavens, printed in 



folio, in 161 7 ; " Campus Philofophicus," the firft part of 



his
