William Aglionby (c.1642–1705) was an English physician, known also as an art historian, translator and diplomat. ==Life== It has been inferred that he was the son of George Aglionby, who was tutor to William Cavendish, 3rd Earl of Devonshire from 1629, and who married Sibella Smith in 1635, dying in 1643. He had an M.D. degree from the University of Bordeaux. Fluency in French later caused him trouble when claiming to be English in France. Aglionby was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1667.〔(Royal Society database, ''Aglionby; William (c 1642 – 1705)''. )〕 From 1669 to 1671 he acted as tutor for Sir Andrew Henley, 1st Baronet and then for Robert Paston, 1st Earl of Yarmouth. In 1679 he was secretary to Sir William Temple at The Hague.〔 During the 1680s Aglionby was in practice in London as a physician. He was based in Broad Street, and was licensed by the Royal College of Physicians in 1687. At this period he took an active part in the Royal Society.〔 In 1698 Aglionby was attempting to negotiate a postal treaty with the French Farmer-General of Posts, in Calais.〔 Other diplomatic postings were to Madrid, Turin and Zurich. Aglionby's associates included James Brydges, Abraham Hill, and Matthew Prior. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Aglionby」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
