    Isidorus, Hispalensis, Bishop of Sevilla, about a.d. 595-636, author of a great cyclopoedia, Etymologiarum libri xx. We have referred to it in Sancti Isidori Opera ouiuia, in the voL Ixxxii. (1859) of J. P. Migne's Patrologise cursus completus. See pages 305. 380. 493. 529. 664. Istachri, Abu Ishaq Alfarsi Alistachri {i.e. of Istachr, the ancient Perse- poHs, in the Persian province Pars). His geograpliical work has been trans- lated (in the Transactions of the Academy of Ham) by Mordtmann : Das Buck der Lmder von Schech Ebn Ishak el Farsi el Isztachri. Hamburg, 1845. See pages 316. 414. 716. Kamel (or Camellus), George Joseph, born at Briinn, Moravia, a.d. 1661, a member of the company of Jesus a.d. 1682. By permission of his superiors, he left in 1688 for the Marianne islands and the Philippines. After having acquired a certain knowledge of botany and pharmacy, he established, at Manila, a pharmaceutical shop with the view of supplying medicaments gratis to the poor; he died there in 1706. Kamel communicated his botani- cal investigations to Ray and Petiver (see R.); consult also A. de Backer, Bibliotheque des Ecrivains de la compagnie de Jesus, iv. (Liege, 1858) 89. See pages 148. 432. Kampfer, Engelbert. Born in 1651 atLemgo, Westphalia; travelled as a physician in Persia (1683-1685), India, Java, Siam (1690), Japan (1690-1692); graduated in 1694 at Leiden, and died in 1716 at Lemgo. His work, Amoeni- tatum exoticarum fasciculi v., Lemgo, 1712, was intended as a specimen of more elaborate accounts of the various observations of the well-informed and zealous author. But only a History and description of Japan was published in German in 1777, by Dohm at Lemgo. Kampfer's unpublished manuscripts and collections were purchased, in 1753, by Sir Hans Sloane, for the British Museum. See pages 20. 44. 167. 263. 272. 315. 512. 513. 527.
