Note 258 — MEMOIRS OF EMINENT LINGUISTS. (continued 3)

Reading edition

The Biographie Universelle places Amaduzzi’s birth (curiously enough for its coincidence with those of the three just mentioned), in 1720: but this is a mistake; he was seventeen years old at the visit of Joseph II. to Rome, in 1767. His birth therefore must be assigned to 1750.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
