of the ancients, under the title, " De Tibiis veterum, 

 et eariim antique ufu, libri tres." This work firft ap- 

 peared at Rome in 1677, dedicated to cardinal Sigirmond- 

 Chitri. The fecond and btll edition was publifhcd at Am- 

 fterdam, 1679, l2mo. witli double the numBer of copper- 

 plates with which the Roman edition iiad been ornamented, 

 reprefenting ancient mnfical inllrumcnts from drawings 

 chieflv made from ancient fculptnre, which are well executed ; 

 and illullrated with quotations from the clalTics where their 

 ufc is mentioned. No book of the kind feems to liave betn 

 written lince of equal authority ; as rccourfe has chiefly 

 been had to this little tratk, by Pian'-hini, Bonanni, and 

 others who have written exprefsly on the fubjeft of ancient 

 mufical inllrnments. In 1678, he was received doftor in medi- 

 cine at Paris. Rttnrnl.ig tl^cncs to Cop' iihagcn, he was made 

 profelTor in medicine at the univerfjty there, and was in fuch 

 high eftimation as to bo raiftd by the kinfr, in the latter part 

 of his life, to confiderr-ble offices in the itatc. Befides re-pub- 

 lifhing feveral 01 the wo'ks of his f.ither, and contributing 

 largely to the Acla HafTiiienila, his own dillinft treatifes 

 are fufficier.tly numerous and valuable to entitle him to rank 

 with the etlebrated authors of that a;re. The titles of a 

 few of them follow ; the remainder will be found in the 15ib.

 In the feveiith, he gives an account of a flyptic efBcacious 

 in (lopping htemorrhages, taken inwardly. An experiment 

 was tried with it fucctfsfully before (he king. " De Dia- 

 phragmatis flruftura nova," Paris, 1676, Svo. Drelincourt 

 claims the honour of this difcovery ; and, as Cafpar B, was 

 only twenty-two years of age when he publiilied this ac- 

 count, Haller feems to decide in favour of the claim of 

 Drelincourt. " De Formatione ct Nntritione Foetus in 

 Utero," Haffnias, 1687, 410. " Specimen Hiftoris Ana- 

 tomies Partium Corporis Hamani," Haffnise, 1701, 410. 

 He died early in the lad century, but in what year is not 

 Known. His brother Thomas was appointed to the profef- 

 forlhip of law and hidory. One work of merit is attri- 

 buted to him, " De Caulis Mortis a Danis gentilibus con- 

 tempts ;" and a differtalion pubHflied in the fifth volume of 

 the Afta Haffnienfia, " De Vermibus Aceti, et de Vermi- 

 culis feminalihus." The reft of the family of Thomas are 

 faid to have diftinguifiied themfelvcs fo as to be appointed 

 to honourable fituations ; but tliefe perhaps were rather the 

 homage paid to the virtues and talents of their anctftors 

 than to tlitir own merit, as none of their works have been 

 noticed by bibliographers. Vandcr. Linden. Haller. Bib.

BARTHOLOMEW, St. in B]ography, one of the 

 12 apoflles, whofe native country was Galilee, is fuppofed 

 by fome writers to have been the fame with Nathaniel, 

 one of our Lord's firll difciples. It has been generally 

 thought, that he preached the gofpel in India ; and that 

 he carried thither the gofpel of St. Matthew in Hebrew, 

 where Pantjenus found it towards the clnfe of the fe- 

 cond century on occafion of his peregrination into that 

 country for the fame benevolent and laudable purpofc. 

 St. Jerome adds, that Pantscnus brought this gofpel home 

 with him to Alexandria : but this fail is dilputtd ; and St. 

 Jerome is fuppofed to have miftaken the words of Eufebius, 

 who only fays that the Chriftians of India had prelerved 

 that Hebrew gofpel till the time of Pantsnus. ( See Eufeb. 

 H. E. lib. V. c. 10. Hieron. de Vir. Illull. c. 36.) It lias 

 b' en alio faid, that Bartholomew prcachtd in Arabia Felix 

 and Perfia ; and that, returning by way ot the more northern 

 and weftern parts of Afia, he preached at Hierapolis and 

 in Lycaonia ; and that he died at Albana, probably Al- 

 hana in Albania, on the Cafpian fea and confines of Arme- 

 nia. At this latter place, it is faid, that he was flayed 

 alive by Allyages, brother to Polcmon, king of Armenia, 

 from hatred to the Chriftian religion, which the apoftle 

 had induced Polemon to embrace. But the time, place, and 

 manner of his death have not been fatisfadlorily afcertained. 

 Dionyfius the Areopagite cites the writings of Bartholomew; 

 and Jerome (ubi lupra, and Pref. in Comment, in Matth.) 

 mentions a " gofpel of St. Bartholomew," which pope Ge- 

 b.fius, in his decree, refers to the clafs of apociyphal books. 

 Ot this book there are not any fragments extant ; unlefs, 

 as Mr. Jones (Method of Settling the Canon, &c. vol. i. 

 p. 21 1.) inclines to think, it was the fame with the gofpel of 

 St. Matthew, which was ufed by the Hebrews or Nazarenes. 

 This learned writer infers from the relations of Eufebius and 

 Jerome, that this gofpel was that which had bten found in 

 India ; but that it had undergone many interpolations and 

 additions : for, fays he, it cannot be thought improbable 

 that thofe who heard St. Bartholomew preach and explain 

 this gofpel to them, fiioiild after his departure rather call it 

 by his name, whom they knew, than the name of Matthew, 

 whom they did not know. Bcfides, Nicephorus alTures ua 

 (Hift. Ecclef. 1. iv. c. 32.), that Bartholomew di£\ated the 

 golpel of St. Matthew to them from his memory, and did 

 not bring it along with him. 



Bartholomew, of the Martyrs, a Dominican monk, 

 and archbirtiop of Braga, was born at Lifton in 1 5 14, and 

 entered into the Dominican order at the age of 14 ; on which 

 occafion he renounced his family name of Fernandez, and 

 afTumed that of the church in which he had been baptized.. 

 Having taught theology for 20 yeaiTi, he at length, with 

 great rtluctance, accepted the charge of the arel.biihopric 

 of Braga, to which he was appoiiited by queen Catharine. 

 Soon atltr hi: appointment, he was deputed, in 1561, to 

 attend the council of Trent, in which he ftrongly uifilled 

 on commenciiig all reforms with that of the clergy. On 

 his return from the council, he devoted his whole time r.nd 

 revenue to exercifes of benevolence. Accordingly, he ufed 

 to fay, " I am Hrft pl.yfician to 1400 hofpitals, which are 

 the pari/hes of my diocefe." During the famine which 

 afflicted Portugal in 1567, and lafted feven years, the poor 

 of Braga were liberally fupphed by the archbilhop ; and he 

 even extended his donations to thofe of fuperior condition 

 who felt the feverity of the times. The famine was fuc- 

 cecded by a plr-.gue ; and on this occaaon the archbifliop, 

 who remained at Braga and obliged the parilh priells to do fo 



likcwife.
