The Gath-rimmon mentioned in Josh, xxi, 25 as be- ing in the tribe of Manassoh, Raumer (Palastlna, p. 173) supposes to be another Levitical city ; but Winer (Realicorterbuch, s. v. Gath) ascribes its origin to a mis- take of the transcriber, who repeated the word from the preceding verse. The Sept. has 'If/3«.Jrt (v. r. BaiSrad), probably intended for the Ibleaji (q. v.) of Josh, xvii, 11.
G-aiibil, AxTOiNE, a Roman Catholic; missionary, was born at Gaillac (Languedoc) July 14, 1G89. He joined the Jesuits in 1704, and was sent to China as a missionary in 1723. He arrived in China just af- ter the accession of the emperor Younrj-Tschivfj, who was bent on banishing the Jesuits. Through the skilful management of Gaubil, most of the members of the order kept their positions. AVhen the son of Young-Tsching, Kiang-Loung, ascended the tlirone in 173G, Gaubil, who had become thoroughly acquaint- ed with the Chinese and Mantchou languages, was appointed chief director of the imperial colleges where the children of the nobility were educated. He thus managed to remain in high standing at the Chineso court until his death, which took place at Pekin July 24, 1759. He was a correspondent of the Academy of Sciences of Paris, and a member of that of St. Petersbni-g. He wrote Le Chou-Kinrj, trad, du Chi- nois (Paris, 1771, 4to ; the oldest and most nnpor- tant historical book of the Chinese, compiled by Con- fucius, and giving the basis of the Chinese govern- ment and law) : — Histoire de Genfchiscan et de toute la. dj/nastie des Manr/oux, ses successeias, conqjiJrnnts de la Chine (Paris, 1739, 4to) : — Traite de Clironolofjle chinoise (puljl. by De Sacy, Paris, 1814, 4to) : — Traite histnrique et critique de V A stronomie chinoise: — Traite de Chrono- logie chinoise (Mimoires concernunt les Chiuois,xo\. xv): — Histoire de la Di/nastie des Tan() (Memoires concer- nunt les Chinois, vols, xv and xvi) : — .Tournal de mon Vojjafje de Canton a Pekin (Prevost, Hist, des voi/affes, vol. v) : — Xotices et description mr la Chine, le Thibet, etc. (in Lettres ed'fantes).
