(Guy), a famous lawyer of Rhegium, was a person of an excellent genius, which he cultivated with the greatest care in the principal universities of Italy; and was afterwards ordinary professor of law at Padua. Philibert Emanuel, duke of Savoy, invited him to his university in 1571, where he composed his ingenious treatise De rebus inventis et deperditis. But the air of Turin not agreeing with him, he there lost an eye; and, for fear of losing the other, returned to Padua, where he died in 1591.
PANCRAZ, a town of England, in the county of Middlesex, on the north-west side of London, in the highway to Kentish-town. Its church is one of the prebends of St Paul's, of which cathedral some call it the mother, it being thought to be as old as that church even in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, when it is represented as weather-beaten and standing alone, without any company, though it had formerly many buildings about it. In its church-yard lie many Roman Catholics. At a public-house on the south side of the church is a medicinal spring.
