LOMBARD, Petes, a bifhop of Paris, who flourilhed 

 in the twelfth century, and known under the title of

 Lombardy, from which he derived his furname. He re- 



of the Adriatic as far as the Dyrrachium, and prefumed, as 

 the hillorian fays, with familiar rudenefs, to enter the towns 

 and houfes of their Roman allies, and to fei-ze the captives 

 who had efcapcd from thuir audacious hands. Tiiefe acts of 

 hoftility, charged upon fome loofe adventurers, were dif» 

 owned by the nati n, and excufed by the emperor : but the 

 arms of the Lombards were more ferioully engaged by a

 Eonour which he declined in favour of his old mafter, as a

 in the fchools was derived from his work entitled " Senten-
