PETER, physician, was born at Valentia in Spain, in the year 1420, and was physician to Alexander VI. whom he followed to Rome, where he practised with great success. He has left behind him two performances of considerable merit, 1. Aggregator Sententiarum Doctorum de Curatione in Pestilentia; printed at Rome 1499, in folio. 2. De Morbo Fædo et Occulto his Temporibus Afflgenti, &c. printed at Rome, 1500, in 4to, black letter: a book extremely scarce, unknown to Luisini and Astruc, and which traces the venereal disease to the year 1496. Pintor died at Rome in 1503, aged 83 years.
