PINTOR, PETER, physician, was born at Valentia in Spain, in the year 1420, and was physician to Alexander VI. whom he followed to Rome, where he practiced with great success. He has left behind him two performances of considerable merit, 1. Aggregator Sententiarum Doctorum de Curacione in Pestilentia, printed at Rome 1499, in folio. 2. De Morbo Fardo et Oculis his Temporibus Affligenti, &c. printed at Rome, 1500, in 4to, black letter: a book extremely scarce, unknown to Lusini and Astruc, and which traces the venereal disease to the year 1496. Pintor died at Rhine in 1503, aged 83 years.
