FABRICIUS, Vincent, born at Hamburg in 1613, was a good poet, a great orator, an able physician, and a learned civilian. He was for some time counsellor to the bishop of Lubec, and afterward burgomaster and syndic of the city of Dantzic; from whence he was 13 times sent deputy into Poland, where he died at Warsaw in 1657, during the diet of that kingdom. The most complete edition of Fabricius's poems and other works was published at Leipzig in 1685, under the direction of his son Frederic Fabricius.
