Jacopo Facciolati

Jacopo Facciolati (1682-1769) was an Italian lexicographer, born at Torreglia. He became a professor of Theology and Logic at Padua. He was chiefly interested in classical literature. He, in collaboration with an old pupil, Egidio Forcellini (1688-1768), began the compilation of a new Latin dictionary, which was completed and published two years after his death by his colleague. This work has been the basis of all subsequent lexicons of the Latin language.
