PAAW (Peter), a phyfician and anatomift, was born 
at Amfterdam in 1564. When he had finilhed his fcho- 
laftic education, he was fent to Leyden at the age of fix- 
teen, where he attended the medical courfes for the fpace 
of four years, and thence proceeded to Paris for farther 
improvement. Pie afterwards commenced his travels for 
' the purpofe of vifiting other celebrated fchools; and, after 
fpending fome time in Denmark, and at Roltock, where 
he received the degree of doctor in 1587, he repaired to 
Padua, and attended the diffeftions of Fabricius ab Aqua- 
pendente. Paaw was naturally of a grave and ferious 
■difpofition : he poffefled an acute and retentive memory, 
and was therefore well able to profit by thefe advantages 
■of education; and, accordingly, his great acquirements 
were foon acknowledged, on his return to Leyden, by an 
appointment to a medical profefiorfhip in that univerfity 
in 1589. His whole ambition was centred in the profpeft 
of fupporting the dignity and utility of this profefforlhip, 
and he obtained the approbation and efteem both of the 
public and his colleagues. He died, univerfally regretted, 
in Auguft 1617, at the age of fifty-four. Anatomy and 
3

botany were the departments which he moft ardently cul¬ 
tivated, and Leyden owes to him the eftablilhment of its 
botanic garden.
