ANDREW ANDREW Le sage Citoyen (Geneva, 1622). He published in 1633 a work advocating republican Christi- anity in Germany. His German writings in- clude several poems ; among others, Christlich Gemal (Tubingen, 1612), which is highly praised by Herder, who declares that Andre boldly announced truths in the 17th century which no one would dare to express in the 18th. He first made known the order of Rosicrucians in two or three publications, and is regarded by some as its founder or inventor ; but this is denied by Herder. (See ROSICRUCIANS.) His autobiography, in Latin, was published at Ber- lin in 1849. AMHIK.E. Laurentins, or Lars indersson, n Swedish scholar, born in 1482, died at Streng- nas, April 29, 1552. He studied in Rome, and upon his return to Sweden was appointed arch- deacon of the cathedral at Upsal. Gustavus Vasa made him his chancellor, and requested him to undertake the translation of the New Testament. In 1540 he was accused of having concealed his knowledge of a conspiracy against the life of the king, and was condemned to death, but finally escaped by the payment of heavy fines. From that time he lived retired in Strengnas. His translation of the New Tes- tament, which was the first version in Swedish, was published in folio in 1526. MHJi: M. Andrea, an Italian painter and en- graver, surnamed II Mantuano, born in Man- tua about 1540, died in Rome in 1623. He de- voted himself principally to wood engraving, and exerted a marked influence upon the devel- opment of that branch of art. His cuts are printed in chiaroscuro, and his works have often been confounded with those of Altdorfer, from his using a similar monogram. Two of his best prints are after Titian's "Deluge" and " Pharaoh's Host destroyed in the Red sea." AM)KKA>0 ISLANDS. See ALEUTIAN ISL- ANDS. ANDREE, Karl Theodor, a German geographer, born in Brunswick, Oct. 20, 1808. His studies at Jena were interrupted by his trial (1838) for revolutionary proceedings, and being acquitted, he thenceforward connected himself with jour- nalism. Since 1861 he has been editor of the Globus, a geographical and ethnographical pub- lication at Hildburghausen. His works, chiefly relating to the American continent, include, besides his copious contributions to the Bruns- wick periodical Westland (5 vols., 1851-'3), Nordamerika in geographischen und ge- tchichtlichen Umrissen (2d ed., Brunswick, 1854); Buenos Ayres und die argentinisehe Hepublik (Leipsic, 1856) ; Geographische Wan- derungen (2 vols., Dresden, 1859) ; and Abes- tinien (1871). He is also the Author of For- schungsreisen in Arabien und Osttifrika (2 vols., Leipsic, 1860-'61) ; and of Geographic des Welt- handels (vol. i., Stuttgart, 1863). ANDREINI. I. Francesco, an Italian comedian of the 16th and 17th centuries, chief of the celebrated troupe called / Gelosi. He published Le bravure del capitan Spavento (Venice, 1609), Ragionamenti fantastici (1612), and two theatrical pieces in verse (1611). II. Isabella, wife of the preceding, a comic actress and an author, born in Padua in 1562, died in Lyons in 1604. She acquired great fame not only by her acting both in Italy and France, but by her varied accomplishments and learn- ing, and her irreproachable character. Medals were struck in her honor with the legend, jfiternafama. Her writings both in prose and verse are numerous, nearly all relating to love. III. Giovanni Kulti-la. son of the preceding, a comedian and poet, born in Florence in 1578, died in Paris about 1650. Besides three long and several shorter poems, he was the author of 18 dramas, from one of which, a "sacred representation" entitled Adamo, Milton has been supposed to have borrowed the plot of " Paradise Lost." There is, however, little re- semblance between the two works. ANDRfiOSSI, Antolne Francois, count d', a French general and savant, born at Castelnau- dary, March 6, 1761, died at Montauban, Sept. 10, 1828. He entered the artillery at an early age, and served under Bonaparte in Italy and in Egypt, where he took an active part in the work of the scientific commission. He was one of the few selected by Bonaparte to ac- company him on his return to France, aided him powerfully in seizing the government, and was made inspector general of artillery and engineering. After the treaty of Amiens he was ambassador to London in 1809, governor of Vienna, and afterward ambassador to Constan- tinople till the restoration. He again engaged in politics during the Hundred Days (1815), was one of the commissioners to treat with the foreign armies after the battle of Waterloo, and thenceforth devoted himself to scientific pur- suits. He made important contributions to the Hemoire* sur Vfigypte. ANDRES, Juan, a Spanish scholar, born of a noble family at Planes in Valencia, Feb. 15, 1740, died in Rome, Jan. 17, 1817. He early en- tered the society of the Jesuits, and on their ex- pulsion from Spain in 1767 was removed with his companions first to Corsica, and then to Ferrara, where he taught philosophy ; but the Jesuit college there was soon suppressed by the pope, and he afterward resided chiefly at Man- tua and Parma. In 1776 he published in Ital- ian Saggio della Jilosofia di Galileo, expound- ing with fairness the system of that philoso- pher. His principal work is DelV origine, de 1 progressi e dello stato attuale d'ogni lettera- tura (7 vols. 4to, Parma, l782-'99; 4th ed., 23 vols. 8vo, Pisa, 1821). He became blind in 1815 and retired to Rome, but continued his scientific and literary pursuits till his death. ANDREW, a N.
