FACCIOLATI, JACOPO (1682-1769), Italian philologist, was born at Torriglia, near Padua, on Jan. 4, 1682. As professor of logic, and regent of the schools, Facciolati was the ornament of the Paduan university for 45 years. His magnum opus is the Totius Latinitatis Lexicon, which was ultimately published at Car dinal Priole's expense, 4 vols. fol., Padua, 1771 (revised ed. by de Vit, 1858-87). In the compilation of this work the chief burden seems to have been borne by Facciolati's pupil Forcellini. It has been said that the whole body of Latinity, if it were to perish, might be restored from this lexicon. In 1808 a volume containing nine of his Epistles was issued at Padua.
