 BARTOLI, Daniel, a learned Jefuit. born at Fer- 

 rara in 160H ; author of many profound and ufeful works, 

 written in Italian, with a precilion and purity of llylc 

 which have inclined his countrymen to rank him among the 

 fitll fcient'fic writers in their lan'gviage. The great hiftorical 

 work of Bartoli appeared in 6 vols, folio, printed at Rome 

 in fucceffion from 1650 to 1673. After the life of St. Ig- 

 natius, he begins with the cftabHIhments and labours of the 

 Society in Alia, compriftd in 3 vols, and divided into thofe 

 of the Eall Indies, Japan, and China. In two other volumes 

 he treats of England and Italy. This performance was 

 tranflated from The Italian into Latin by father Giannini, 

 and printed at Lyons. He pnblifhed at Bologna, in 1680, 

 a work in 410. intitled, " Del fuono de tremori armonici e 

 dcir udito" (of harmonical vibrations of found and of the 

 ear). In this truly feientilic and ingenious work are to be 

 found fcveral difcoveries in harmonics, that were purfued by 

 pafterior writers on the fubjeft. It contains four differta- 

 tions ; the firft treats of the fimilarity between the circular 

 undulations occafioued in Hill water when a ftone is thrown 

 into it, and the propagation and motion of found. The 

 fecond, of the motion of found compared with that of light: 

 of echoes, or refleftion of found, and of its augmentation in 

 a whifpering room or gallery. Third, of harmonic vibra- 

 tions, and ratios of found ; of fympathetic founds ; of the 

 breaking a glafs with the voice. Fourth, of the mixture of 

 founds ; of confonance ; harmonics ; and the immenfe in- 

 ereafe of founds in a veffel, or inclofed place, by repercuffion. 

 With many other curious enquiries ; and ends with the ana- 

 tomy of the ear. 



Bartoli, Pletro Sanle, called /'i-ra^ino, an engraver of 

 reputation, was born at Perugia about the year 1635, and 

 refided chiefly at Rome, where he died in 1700. He is 

 mentioned as a painter, but his charafter as an engraver is 

 more eftabliflied. He drew in a correift, agreeable Ryle ; 

 and his plates, which are chiefly etched, are executed in a 

 free, mallerly manner. His dillinguifhing excellence con- 

 filled in copying the bas-relief, and other works of the an- 

 cients. His manner is original ; and though his name is not 

 alwavs marked at full length upon his plates, they are eafily 

 diftinguifhed by pcrfons acquainted with his v orks, as the free- 

 dom and lightnel' of his pencil cannot ealily be counterfeited. 

 Among his detached prints are: " St. Charles kneeling, ac- 

 companied by an Augcl," from Antonio Caracci ; and the 

 " Adoration Of the Shepherds," from Annibale Caracci.

BARTOLO, a lawyer of the 14th century, was born 

 in 1^13 at Saffoferrato, the ancient Sentinum, in the 

 marche of Ancoiia, purfued the ftudy of the law at 

 Perugia and Bologna, and attained to fuch eminence, that 

 lie was dlllinguiflied by the pompous titles of " Light and

Star of Jurlfconfults," " Mailer of Truth," « Lamp of 

 Right," " Guide of the Blind," &c. In 1339, be wa» 

 elefted profefTor of laws at Pifa ; and after remaining 1 1 

 years in the exercife of this office, he removed to Perugia, 

 where he opened a fchool of law, celebrated through Italy, 

 and frequented by a great number of Undents. When 

 Charles IV. vifited Perugia, in 1355, Bartolo fecured his 

 favour to fuch a degree, that he obtained for Perugia all the 

 privileges ufually granted to univerfities, and for himfelf the 

 titles of counfellor, and domellic commenfal of the emperor, 

 withpermifTion to bear the family arms of the king of Bohemia. 

 Bartolo is faid to hav-e acquired great weahli, and to have 

 died at Perugia in the year 1359 ; but the time of his death 

 is not prcciftly afcertaintd. He was of a feeble confti- 

 tution, and his temperance was fuch that he is faid to have 

 weighed his food. His learning and rtfearches were ex- 

 tended beyond his own profelFion, and his regard for the 

 fcriptures induced him to make the Hebrew language the 

 objeCl of his particular attention. His works, comprehended 

 in 10 vols, foho, were printed at Lyons in 1545. Nouv.

 the volumes appeared fuccefiively in 1675, 1678, 1683, and 

 1693. The fourth volume was completed by his fcliolar 

 Imbonati, who, in 1694, added a fifth, intitled, " Bibliotheca 

 I^atino-Hebraica." I'his work furnilhes valuable materials

 BARTON, Elizabeth, called commonly "The Maid 

 of Kent," was an enthufiaftical impoftor, firft known in 

 1525, as a fervant at Aldington in Kent. Being fubjeft 

 to hyfterical fits, which were attended with a variety of 

 agitations and diftortions, the fuperftitionsof the age led the 

 common people to believe that ftie was fupernaturally in- 

 fpired. Mailers, the parfon of the parifh, thought that (he 

 was a fit perfon to be employed in order to fupport the de- 

 clining caufc of Rome, or to give celebrity to his own chapel, 

 and accordingly refolved to exhibit her as a prophetefs. 

 With this view, he and fome of his friends took her under 

 their tuition ; and taught her to aft her part fo well, that 

 flie not only deluded the common people, but impofed on the 

 credulity of feveral perfons of rank and learning ; among 

 whom were fir Thomas More, Fifl'.er bifhop of Rochefter, 

 and Warham archbilhop of Canterbui7. The monk and 

 ecclefiaftics, who were appointed by the latter to iuveftigate 

 this bufinefs, made a favourable report, and encouraged the 

 impofture. The nun, for fuch was the charafter {he had 

 now affumed, was condufted in triumphal proceffion, and 

 attended by a mob, to the chapel of the Virgin at " Court 

 ot Street ;" and when fhe appeared before the image of our 

 lady, (he fell proftrate in one of her trances, delivering 

 rhymes, fpeeches, &c. all of which tended to the honour of 

 that faint, and of the Popifli religion. Having for fome 

 time performed in lliis way, very much to the honour and 

 profit of her employers, flie was further in ftrnfted to denounce 

 menaces againll the king on account of his divorce from 

 queen Catharine, and his marriage of Ann Boleyn, and 

 alfo his enmity to the church, and to declare his fubjefts ab-
