GLANDORP

Volume 7 · 136 words · 1797 Edition

(Matthias), a learned physician, born in 1595, at Cologn, in which town his father was a surgeon. After receiving a doctor's degree at Padua, and visiting the principal towns of Italy, he settled at Bremen in 1618, where he practised physic and surgery with so much success, that he was made physician to the republic and to the archbishop. He published at Bremen, Speculum chirurgorum, Methodus medendi paronychie, Tractatus de polypo narium affecto graviissimo, and Gazophylacium polyphism fonsivissimo; which four pieces were collected and published, with his life prefixed, at London, in 4to, 1729. Glandorp died young; and it must suggest a high opinion of his abilities, that, notwithstanding the great improvements in all branches of science, his works should be deemed worthy a republication 100 years after his death.
