PINTOR (Peter), born at Valentia in Spain, in the year 1420. was physician to Alexander VI. whom he followed to Rome, where he practised with great success. He has left behind him two performances of considerable merit, 1. Aggregator Sententiarum Doctorum de Curacione in Peffulencia, printed at Rome 1499, in folio. 2. De Morbo Fado & Occulto his Temporibus Affigenti, &c. printed at Rome, 1500, in 4to, black letter; a book extremely scarce, unknown to Luisini and Astruc, and which traces the venereal disease to the year 1496. Pintor died at Rome in 1503, aged 83 years.
