Mezzofanti, Giuseppe
1910 New Catholic Dictionary
Cardinal; philologist. Born 1774; died 1849. He left only a few manuscripts on comparative philology, as his polyglotism was intuitive rather than analytic, but is credited with a perfect knowledge of 38 languages and a less perfect knowledge of 30 other languages and of 50 dialects.
