TAGLIACOZZI, or Taliacotius, Gasparo, in 

 Biography, was born at Bologna in 1546, and praftifed with 

 celebrity as a phylician and iurgeon in his native city from 

 the year 1570 to 1599, where he died. The peculiar prac- 

 tice, implied in his name, was that of reftoring loft parts by 

 infition ; and this practice he derived from fome Neapolitan 

 and Sicilian furgeons. It was founded on the principle, that 

 two raw furfaces of living bodies or parts, attached to each 

 other in clofe contaft, will adhere and mutually tranfmit 

 circulating fluids. On this fubjeft he publifhed two trea- 

 tifes : -viz. " Epiilola ad Hieronymum Mercurialem de 

 Naribus, multo ante abfciffis, reficiendis," Francof. 1587; 

 and " De Curtorum Chirurgia per Infitionem, Lib. duo, 

 additis Cutis traducis, Inttrumentorum omnium, atque De- 

 ligationum, iconibus et tabulis," Venet. 1597, fol. A 

 fimilar practice has anciently prevailed in India, and is now 

 occafionally adopted after the common punifhment of am- 

 putating the nofe ; for reftoring which, a piece from the 

 (kin of the forehead is ingenioufly engrafted. Modern fiu-- 

 geons have availed themfelves of the principle, by bringing 

 over flaps of the adjacent fl<in, in order to accelerate the 

 healing after amputation, and otlier operations. Haller.

TAGLIATO, Ital., in Mufic, is ufed for meafure, 

 which the French call barre ; that is, when the charafter for 



common time is thus mar 



ked, ^5, or £2' 



with 



per- 



pendicular line drawn through the middle of the C ; it 

 implies quick time, in which the notes are played or fung 

 twice as rapidly as in the ufual common time ; a femibreve 

 being performed like a minim, a minim like a crotchet, a 

 crotchet like a quaver, &c. A breve, double the length of 

 a femibreve, uffd to fill a bar ; whence the terms alia breve. 

 This time is ftiU ufed in mufic a capella, and alia Palejlrina; 

 in which the notes being chiefly open, and in fugue, mufi- 

 cians ufually call a fugue confifting chiefly of femibreves 

 and minims a tuhlte fugue. The time, too, when a line is 

 drawn through the C, is called cut time.
