, a Venetian of noble extraction, is
memorable for having lived to an extreme age: for he
was ninety-eight years old at the time of his death, which
happened at Padua April 26, 1566, his birth being fixed
at 1467. Amongst other little performances, he left behind him a pieae, entitled “De vitae sobrise commodis,
”
i. e. “Of the advantages of a temperate life:
” of which
an account was given in the preceding editions of this Dictionary, and which, as amusirrg and instructive, we shall
not disturb, although it belongs rather to the medical than,
biographical department.
