GALIENUS,

Gallen, born at Perga∣mus, Physician to M. Aurelius, and Lucius Ve∣rus. He was very famous in Physick, and brought it to a method, now followed by the greatest part of Physicians; yet many Men, who are not carried away by the multitude and prejudice of opinions, condemn and re∣ject his Method, as being unfit to cure ex∣traordinary Distempers.

He was an Enemy both to Jews and Chri∣stians, blaming them for believing very hard things without any demonstration. Certainly he was a very great Man, and so excellent in his Art, that having conveyed away a very dan∣gerous defluction by letting of Blood, and cured the Falling-sickness by tying the Root of Piony about the neck, he was taxed of Magick, and forced to quit Rome, and died at Pergamus, the place where he was born. Some Writers tell us that he was then seventy years old, and o∣thers a hundred and four. It appears by two Commentaries of his own Books, that he had writ two hundred Volumes, which were burnt in the Fire of the Temple of Peace.
