	Birth and early years of Mezzofanti (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		His father, Francis Mezzofanti, a native of the same city, was of very humble extraction, and by trade a carpenter.
		Though almost entirely uneducated, Francis Mezzofanti is described by the few who remember him, as a man of much shrewdness and intelligence, a skilful mechanic, and universally respected for his integrity, piety, and honourable principles.
		For Mezzofanti's mother, Gesualda Dall' Olmo, a higher lineage has been claimed ;—the name of Dall' Olmo being extremely ancient and not undistinguished in the annals of Bologna ; but the fortunes of the immediate branch of that family from which Gesualda Dall' Olmo sprung, were no less humble than those of her husband.

		How great then was my surprise, when I saw him immediately seize the opportunity, and speak to me during half an hour on the astronomy and mathematics of the Indian races, in a way which would have done honour to a man whose chief occupation had been tracing the history of the sciences.
		He would hardly permit the simple mark of respect — the kissing of the ring which ordinarily accompanies the salutation of one of high ecclesiastical dignity in Italy; and his demeanour was so entirely devoid of assumption of superiority that the humblest visitor was at once made to feel at home in his company.
		In 1831, he settled in Rome, accepted a prebend in the church of St. Mary Major, which he exchanged for a canonry in St. Peter’s; he was next appointed keeper of the Vatican library, and in 1838 was elevated to the Cardinalate.

		He applied his Chinese learning to the determination of important points connected with Chinese religion, and published a vast number of parallel passages illustrative of the Book of Proverbs.
		In 1880 the university of Edinburgh conferred upon him the honorary degree of D.D. No modern scholar, perhaps, has so nearly approached the linguistic omniscience of Giuseppe Caspar Mezzofanti, but, like Mezzofanti, Dr Malan was more of a linguist than a critic.
		He made himself conspicuous by the vehemence of his opposition to Westcott and Horts text of the New Testament, and to the transliteration of Oriental languages, on neither of which points did he in general obtain the suffrages of scholars.
