AND both in the state and in the church. His publications were very numerous, both in Latin and German, but all of small bulk, with a view to their wider diffusion both among the learned classes and the general mass of his countrymen. His principal works were: "Menippus, sive satyricorum dialogorum centuria;" "Subsidia sacræ et literariæ rei;" "Theophilus, seu de religione Christiana colenda;" "Syntagma de curiositatis pernicie;" "Idea Societatis Christianæ;" "Invitatio ad fraternitatem Christi." He left also an interesting autobiography, which, was translated into German, and published by D. C. Seybold in 1799.

ANDREAS, an archbishop of Krayna in Carinthia, who lived in the latter part of the fifteenth century. Having been sent to the court of Rome by the Emperor Frederick III., he boldly rebuked the vices and corruption of the clergy, and the pope himself. For this he was imprisoned; and when liberated by the intervention of the emperor, he hastened to Basle, attempted to convoke a general council to reform the church, and sent to all the courts of Europe a protest against the conduct of the pope. He was at last thrown into prison, where, after some months, he was privately strangled in 1484.—J. W. S.

He was born about the middle of the last century, and held the office of maestro di capella to the king of Naples, in whose capital he acquired great popularity as a dramatic composer, which rapidly spread all over Italy. His opera of "Catone" was produced at Florence in 1787, and that of "Agesilao" at Venice the year following. Besides these, his "Arbace" and his "Olimpiade" were the most esteemed among his dramatic works. From the character of his subjects, we may suppose that his predilection was for the tragic style. Such an inclination would best enable him to succeed, as we are told he did, in his oratorio of "La Passione di Gesù Cristo." He is said also to have written much chamber music, among which his violin quartets may be highly considered.—G. A.

Originally a disciple of John the Baptist, he was led by what he heard from his master to visit Jesus, and becoming fully persuaded that he was the Messiah, transferred his allegiance to him. One of the first steps which he took after reaching this conviction, was to conduct his brother Simon to the Saviour, and both of them, after a brief period, became his stated followers, in compliance with an invitation from himself. Although Andrew seems, from several circumstances mentioned in the gospels, to have enjoyed much of the confidence of Christ, yet he never took the same lead among the disciples as his brother. It is but little information that is to be found regarding him in Scripture. On Philip's application, he concurred with him in introducing to our Lord certain Greeks who were desirous of seeing him. He was one of the four who obtained from Christ private information regarding the destiny of the temple. Tradition assigns to him Greece, Asia Minor, Scythia, Thrace, as scenes of labour, and alleges that he suffered martyrdom at Patræ in Achaia.

III. the twenty-second and last sovereign of the race of Arpad, succeeded to the crown in 1290; and after vanquishing several rival claimants, died in 1300.—J. W. S. <section end="181YA" /> <section begin="181YB" />ANDREW or ANDREASSO was born at Baden in 1324, and succeeded to the throne of Naples.
