Facciolato, Or Facciolati, Jacopo, an Italian philologist, horn in Torreglia, near Padua, Jan. 4, 1682, died Aug. 26, 1769. Cardinal Bar-barigo sent him to the ecclesiastical seminary of Padua, where he took orders and rose to be professor of philosophy, and finally head of the institution. He afterward filled the chair of logic in the university of the same city, and was charged with continuing the history of that establishment which Papadopoli had begun. Besides several good editions of the classics and various works on grammar, ethics, theology, and some poetry, he published revisions of the Lexicon of Schrevelius, the Thesaurus Ciceronianus of Nizolius, and an edition in seven languages of Calepino's dictionary (2 vols, fol, 1731), in which he received much assistance from his pupil Forcellini and others. It was on the conclusion of the last named work that Facciolato and Forcellini began to compose the great Latin dictionary published after the death of both, under their joint names, but which was almost entirely the work of the latter. (See Forcellini.)
