lence of colouring. Unfortunately his work has been very ill preserved, whether as the result of hurried ex- ecution, or of faulty methods in the mixing of his ^gments. Thisisparticularlyapparent in his"Para- aise" in the church of San Francesco at Padua. His "St. Anne" at San Michele, Vieenia, is probably one of the best expressions of his poetical fancy and colour-sense. He was among those painters of bis period who gave an impetus to the still young art of engraving by copying his own work in that mediimi.

Haffel, Raffaelo, humanist, historian, and theo- logian, b. 17 February, 1451; d. 25 January, 1522, f& was a native of Volterra, Italy, and therefore is called Raphael Volaterranus. From earliest youth he devoted himself to the study of letters, and in 1466 was called to Rome, with his brothers, by their father, Qherardo MafFci, whom Pius II had appointed pro- fessor of law at the University of Rome, and had taken later for his secretary, which position he held also under Paul II and Sixtus IV. At Rome, Raffaelo hdd himself aloof from the court, devoting his time to the practice of piety and to the study of philosophy, of theolo^, and of the Greek language, the latter under George of Trebiiond. In 1477, he went to Hungary with Cardinal I»uis of Aragon, on the latter's mission to Matthias Corvinus. Upon his return, RaSaelo was persuaded by the Blessed Gaspare da Firenie not to become a Minor Observant, as Raffaelo intended to do; whereupon he married, and established his resi- dence at Volterra. The remainder of his life was spent in study, in the practice of piety and of penance, and in the exercise of works of chanty; in his own house, he established an accndemia, in which he gave lec- tures on philosophy and on theology, while he founded the Clarisse monastery of Volterra. He died in the odour of sanctity: and, contrary to his desire, his brother erected to his memoi? a splendid monument, the work of Fra Angeb da Hontorsolt.

which wer< published s rately (Ve:

1518), are taken from the "Commentarii"; in them, Maffei blames unsparingly V>e disordered life of the Roman court. At Volterra, he wrote a compen- dium of philosophy and of theology, "De institu- tione Christiana" and "De prima philosophia" (Rome, 1518) in which he rather follows Scotus. He translated, from the Greek into Latin, the "Odys- sey" of Homer, the "(Economics" of Xenophon, the "Gothic War" of Procopius, "Sermones ct tractatus S. Basilii", some sermons of St. John of Damascus and of St. Andrew of Crete; he also wrote the "Vita B. Jacobi de Certaldo". On the other hand, he was in epistolary communication with popes, cardinals, and other learned men. The manuscript of the work which be called "Peristromata" remained incomplete; it went to the Biblioteca Barlieriniona.

The elder brother of Mallei, Antonio, was involved in the conspiracy of the Pazii. Another brother, Mario, was a man of great culture. He was nuncio to France and, later, prefect of the building of St. Peter's (1507), regent of the penitentiaries, and Bishop, first, of Aquino (1516) and then of Cavailion; he died on 23 June, 1537.

Hagand, ANTomE-DouiNiovF, French painter, b. at Marseilles 1817; d. there. 18<J9. He studied in Paris under I>6oii Cogniet. The most important of his works are at Marseilles, where he presided over the Ecole des Beaux Arts so successfully that he was en- titled to be called its second founder. Magaud's tal- ent was universal; his portraits, and especially that of himself, are remarkable; then be took up landscape painting, and has left us among others " A view taken from St. Martha's" near Marseilles; his genre paint- ing include a famous " Bashi-Baiouk caUing up Spirite ". But it is principally ia his decorative com- positions that his real greatness is shown. In Mai^ seillee he decorated the Cafg de France, the Chamber of Commerce, the Library, the Grand-H6tel, the Pre- fecture. His masterpiece in work of this kind is the historical ^llery of the Marseilles Religious Associa- tion. This gallery comprises fifteen canvases, four metres by two, and a ceding nine metres. The sub- ject to be treated was a pictorial glorification of the benefits of Christian civiliiation. The main theme ia
