Marracci [1]
an Italian priest, eminent as an Oriental scholar, was born at Lucca in 1612, and for years held the professorship of Arabic in the Collegia della Sapienza in Rome. He died in 1700. His principal work is an excellent edition of the Koran in Arabic, with a Latin version (1698). "This," says Hallam, in his Introduction to the Literature of Europe, "is still esteemed the best."
