GABRIEL, a most celebrated physi- cian 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 phy- sicians 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 genui- na omnia, tam practica quam theoretica, in tres to- mos distributa." They were printed at Venice in 1585 and in 1626, at Frankfort in 1629, cum operum ap- pendice; and in 1666, in folio.
