GEORGE, a most illustrious physician of Italy, was a native of Apulia, and born about the year 1668. He studied at Padua, where he became doctor; and then went to Rome, where he was chosen professor of anatomy. He was a man of most uncommon force of understanding, of which he gave ample proofs in many curious and accurate productions, philosophical as well as medicinal. He died at Rome in 1706, in the flower of his age, and when he was no more than 38. A collection of his works was printed first in 1710, quarto; and has since been reprinted, in the same size, at various places. His Praxis Medica, and De Fibra Matricis, are the principal pieces. He wrote a Differtation upon the Anatomy, Bite, and Effects, of the Tarantula, which is the production of his country; and gave a particular account of the earthquake at Rome and the adjacent cities in 1703. His works are all in Latin.
