(George Matthias), a learned German, born at Altorf in Franconia in 1616. He became professor of poetry and of the Greek tongue there, and librarian to the university; in which last office he succeeded his father. He gave several public specimens of his learning; but is principally known for a Biographical Dictionary, intitled, Bibliotheca vetus et nova, 4to, Altorf, 1674: which, though it is very defective, is useful to biographers. He died in 1669.

(Emanuel), a learned physician of Basil, born in that city in 1658, whose medicinal works were so esteemed in Switzerland, that he was considered as a second Avicenna. He died at Basil in 1731.
