GABRIEL, a most celebrated physician and anatomist, was born at Modena in Italy, in the year 1523, and descended of a noble family. He made several discoveries in anatomy, one of which was that of the tubes, called from him the Fallopian tubes. He travelled through the greatest part of Europe, and obtained the character of being one of the ablest physicians of his age. He was made professor of anatomy at Pisa in the year 1548, and at Padua in the year 1551: here he died in 1562, aged 39. His writings, which are numerous, were first printed separately, and afterwards collected under the title of "Opera genuina omnia, tam practica quam theoretica, in tres tomos distributa." They were printed at Venice in 1585 and in 1606, at Francfort in 1600, *cum operum appendice*; and in 1606, in folio.
