C^ELESTIANS, the followers of C.cleftins, a monk, 

 who flourifiied under the empire of Arcaduis, about the year 

 +Ov anJ taught much the ianie doctrines as Pelagius. 



The native country ot Cxlellius is not certainly known ; 

 iome fay it was Ireland ; others, Scotland ; and others fay 

 thnt he was a native of Campania in itaiy. This, however, 

 is certain, that lie was delcei.ded of an ilhiftrious fanvly, and 

 iliat, after having applied for fome tinv; to the ihidy of the 

 law, he retired from the world ar.d embraced the monalHo 

 life. He accompanied Pelagius into Sicily in 40S or 401J, 

 and afterwards, in 411, into Africa ; from thence he went to 

 Alia, Rhodes, and the neighbouring iflands, diffeminating the 

 doftrines of Pelagius, fo that thofe who embraced them de- 

 rived from him the appellation of Csleftians. Having been 

 conllrained to leave Conllantinople in tiie year 416, he re- 

 : irned to Rome in the following year, and ingratiated him- 

 l^lf with pope Zofimus, and obtained a letter in his favour 

 to the African bilhops. In ^.iS, however, he was banidied 

 from Rome by virtue of a law enadled by the emperor Ho- 

 norius againll the Pelagians ; but he afterwards returned, 

 and was again ordered to depart from Italy. Accordingly

he repaired to Conllantinople, where for fome time he met 

 with a mo'e favourable reception. At length, about the

 complices, by Marius Mercator, to tlie empeior Theodofiui,

C.t:lius jiureli.vius, the only remaining writer of the 

 feft ot the Methodills in medicine, is fuppufed to have been 

 a native of Sicca in Africa, although, as Haller obferves. 

 no reference is made to that country in his work. From 

 hisftyle, which is harfh and barbarous, Le Clerc fuppofes he 

 lived in the 15th century. The work by which he is known 

 is a trandation into Latin of the writings of Soranur, 

 an Ephefian phyfician, the head of the methodic fed, to 

 which he has added obfervations collcfted from other writers 

 and fome from his own pra6lice. It confifls of eii^ht books, 

 three on acute and five on chronic difeafes. They were firll 

 printed, '■ Celerum vel acutaium Paffionum Libri Tres," 

 Pari,^, 1510, and " Tardarum Paflijnum Libri Q^inqne, 

 Bafilex, 1529, both in folio. Dalechamp. in 1567, pub- 

 lilhed the work complete with notes, at Lyons, 8vo. It 

 alfo enters into the " Medica; Artis Pr ncipes," by Stephens 

 and by Hailcr. The work has the merit of prcferving fi'ag- 

 mcnts rroni the writings of feveral aneie::t authors in medi- 

 cine, which would othervvife have been loll, as well as of 

 imparting a knowledge of their doArines. The author is 

 Very Iree in his ccnfnres on the works he examines, and ap- 

 pears to have been an intelligent and attentive praclitioncr. 

 He treats of feveral difeafes not mentioned by any earlier 

 writers, and has Iome obfervations in furgciy peculiar to 

 himielf. He mentions a:i inllance of hydrophobia occurring 

 in a perfon who had not been bitten by any rabid 

 animal, and of iiydatids in fome kinds of dropfv. He had 

 feen a fit of the gout terminate in apoplexy, in tonfctiucnce 

 ot the too liberal nie of bitter and acrid fiibflanecs. He 

 recommends injeclions of oil for the cure of afear'des, or to 

 deftroy thole worms ; and has nnmerons other obfervations 

 equally pertinent and ingenieus. Le Clerc Hilloire dc
