Biography
Born in a poor family. In 1704 he entered the seminary in Padua, studied under J. Faccolati , and was later ordained.
From 1724 to 1730 he held the post of rector of the seminary in Ceneda , from 1731 to 1765 he served as confessor in the Padua seminary. Later, basically, he lived in his native village.
He died in Padua in 1768 until the end of the great work of Totius Latinitatis Lexicon , on which he worked together with J. Faccolati. The Complete Latin Lexicon they created formed the basis for all subsequent work in this area.
E. Forcellini has been engaged in this difficult task for almost thirty-five years.
