This article appears in Volume V04, Page 496 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BRENNER PASS , the lowest (4495 ft.) and one of the most frequented passes across the Alps in all ages, though the name itself rarely occurs in the
middle
  ages, the route over it being said to lie through "the valley of Trent." It may be described as the
great
  gate of
Italy
 , and by it most of the Teutonic tribes made their way to
Italy
 . One reason of its importance is that
many side passes in the end join this
great
  thoroughfare. It woks crossed no fewer than 66 times by various emperors, between 793 and 1402. A
carriage
  road was constructed over it as far back as 1772, while the railway over it was built in 1864-1867. From
Innsbruck
  to the summit of the pass is a distance by
rail
  of 25 M. The line then descends through the Eisack valley past
Brixen
  (34 m.) to
Botzen
  (24 m.). Thence it follows the valley of the
Adige
  to Trent (35 m.) and on to Verona (562 m.)in all 1744 M. by
rail
  from
Innsbruck
  to Verona. (W. A. B. C.)
