PITISCUS, SAMUEL, a learned philologist, was born at Zutphen in 1637, and became rector of the college of that city, and afterwards of St Jerome at Utrecht, where he died on the 1st of February 1727. He wrote a Lexicon Latino-Belgicum, 1704, in 4to; a Lexicon Antiquitatum Romanorum, in quo ritus et antiquitates, tum Græcis et Romanis communes, tum Romanis particulares exponuntur, Leeuwarden, 1713, in 2 vols. folio; and he published good editions, with prefaces and notes, of Quintus Curtius, Polyhistor, Solinus, with the Observations of Salmasius on Pliny, Suetonius, Aurelius Victor, the Pantheon Mythicum, and the Antiquitates Romanae of Rosini. In 1685 Pitiscus announced a Lexicon Catullo-Tibullo-Propertianum, which unfortunately never appeared.
