PAP 
PAO'LO (Agoftino), a learned ecclefiaftical compfefer 
of inufic, fcholar of Bernardo Nanini, and fucceflbr in 
the pontifical chapel to Soriano. Antimo Liberati fpeaks 
of him as one of the molt fcientific and ingenious com- 
po'ers of his time, in every fpecies of muiic then culti¬ 
vated : and tells us, that, while he was maeftro di capella 
of St. Peter’s church at Rome, he aftoniflied the mnfical 
world with his productions for four, fix, and eight, choirs 
or chorufles; fome of which might be lung in four or fix 
parts only, without diminifhing or enervating the har¬ 
mony. Padre Martini, who bears teftimony to the truth 
of this eulogium, has inferted an Agnus Dei, in eight 
parts, of this compofer, which is truly a curious produc¬ 
tion : three different canons being carried on at the fame 
time, in lb clear and natural a manner, both as to me¬ 
lody and harmony, that this learned father, who had been 
long exercifed in fuch arduous enterprifes, fpeaks of it 
as one of the greateft efforts of genius and learning in this 
moll: difficult kind of compofition. Burney.

PAP CAS'TLE, a very ancient edifice, long fince de- 
moliffied, was fituated in the parifh of Bridekirk, two 
miles from Cockermouth, Cumberland, on the other fide 
of the Derwent. Its Roman antiquity is proved by fe- 
veral monuments ; and a large green Hone veflel found 
here, with little images upon it, is fuppofed to have been 
formerly a Dariifii font for dipping of infants, and which 
lias been fince ufed at Bridekirk, in the neighbourhood, 
for their lprinkling. 
The name of Pap-ca/lle feems to be contracted from 
Pipafd its owner : it is faid to have been demolilhed, and

I11 Gough’^ Camden, we find two letters from Mr. 
Routh to Mr. Gale, dated Jan. 16, 1741, and Apr. 13, 
1743, deferibing the ruins that were dilcovered about 
PAP 
that time, and the antiquities that were dug up. Dr. 
Stukeley fays, the Roman caftrurn lies on the top of the 
hill above the village; and he traced its whole circumfer¬ 
ence, and a bit of the Roman wall by the river-fide going 
to Wigton, where the ditch is plainly vifible, though, 
half filled-up with the rubbiffi of the wall. A fubterra- 
neous vault, floored with large flabs of free-ftone, was 
found in the pafture of the fouth-eaft angle. The name 
of Boroughs includes both clofes where it ftood ; and they 
find ftones and dates with iron pins in them, coins, &c. 
on the whole fpot below it, towards the water-fide. It 
was a beautiful and well-chofen plan, on the fouth-weft 
fide of a hill, a noble river running under, and pretty 
good country about it. He fuppofes its ancient name 
Derventio, derived from the Derwent.

PA'PA STOU'R, one of the Shetland iflands of Scot¬ 
land, is fituated about a mile weftward from the main 
land. This ifland extends about two miles in length, 
and one in breadth. Its foil is a rich fand, producing 
excellent pafturage-grafs, and even good crops of oats, 
with beans and potatoes. Along the coaft are numerous 
fmall voes, or harbours, which afford a fafe retreat to the 
boats employed in the Shetland iflands. Here is a remark¬ 
able cave, by which the fea flows for a confiderable dif- 
tance into the interior of the ifland, under the rocks. 
The beach, being admirably adapted for drying fifli, is 
occupied by a number of lioufes appropriated to that pur- 
pofe.

the coaft of Scotland, is lituated on the north-eaft quar¬

miles in circumference, its furface is remarkably level, 
and equally beautiful as fertile. Here are the ruins of 
two ancient chapels, one dedicated to St. Bride, and the 
other to St. Nicholas. On an eminence called Earl’s 
Knoll, are feveral graves, and fome veftiges of buildings 
which formerly belonged to one of the ancient earls of 
Orkney. 
PA'PA WES'TRA, one of the Orkney iflands, about 
one mile to the north of Weftra. It is nearly four miles

foil to any diftrift in Scotland. At its fouth-eaftern 
extremity is a beautiful lake of freifli water, the centre of 
which is adorned with an iflet, where are the ruins of the 
once-noble chapel of St. Tredwall, to whom fuperftition, 
till lately, attributed many wonderful and miraculous 
works. Barry's Rift, of the Orkneys.
