KALDI, George, m Biography, a native of Hungary, 

 was born in Tirnav.' about the year 1572, and from his 

 connexions he might probably have attained to confiderable 

 preferment in the church, but he preferred enrolling himfelf 

 in the fociety of the Jefuits. He was received mto the 

 order at Rome, and returning to his own country, he was 

 banifhed into Tranfylvania, with the other members of the 

 fociety, during the commotions which, at that time, agi- 

 tated the kingdom. After this he difcharged the duty of 

 theological profefTor in the univerfity of Olmutz, and filled 

 fome other important polls in different places. His iall re- 

 treat was to a college which he built at Prefburg, where he 

 died, in the year 1634, at the age of fixty-two. He was 

 regarded as one of the muft eloquent preachers in Hungary. 

 He publiftied a volume of fermons at Pre/burg in 1631,

 taken and completed a tranflation of the bible from the 

 Vulgate into the Hungarian tongue, which was printed at

 called Kalf, and there are two cxquifite works of his, unit- 

 ing the merits of Rembrandt and Tcniers. He was born at 

 Amilerdam in 1630, and was a difciple of Hendrick Pot, 

 a portrait and hili:orical painter ; of whom he learned the 

 practice of the art, but from whom he varied in tlie appli- 

 cation of it ; and apphed his talents, which were very con- 

 fiderable, in a clofe imitation of objeds in (till life ; which 

 he compofed with great beauty and effect. He poflefled 

 an eye luformcd with the power of Rembrandt's arrange- 

 ments and contrail of light and ftiade, and a hand, that 

 managed the pencil with the ncatnefs and corrcctnefs of 

 Tcniers : his piflures are therefore as agreeable perhaps as
