| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Luigi Antonio Muratori |
 | | Muratori supported the claims of his sovereign and of the house of Este against the pope by means of numerous historical researches, which he later on utilized in the preparation of a great historical work, "Antichità Estensi ed Italiane" (2 vols., Modena: 1st vol., 1717; 2nd vol., 1740). |
 | | Muratori really proved himself to be a universal genius of rare calibre, at home in all fields of human knowledge. |
