Egidio Forcellini (August 26, 1688 – April 5, 1768), Italian philologist, was born at Fener in the district of Treviso and belonged to a very poor family. He died at Padua before the completion of the great work on which he had long co-operated with Facciolati. This was the vast Latin Lexicon, which has formed the basis of all similar works that have since been published. He was engaged with his Herculean task for nearly thirty-five years.
