See also:LANZI, See also:LUIGI (1732–1810) , See also:Italian archaeologist, was See also:born in 1732 and educated as a See also:priest. In 1773 he was appointed keeper of the galleries of See also:Florence, and thereafter studied Italian See also:painting and See also:Etruscan antiquities and See also:language. In the one See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field his labours are represented by his Storia Pittorica della Italia, the first portion of which, containing the Florentine, Sienese, See also:Roman and Neapolitan See also:schools, appeared in 1792, the See also:rest in 1796. The See also:work is translated by See also:Roscoe. In See also:archaeology his See also:great achievement was Saggio di lingua Etrusca (1789), followed by Saggio delle lingue Ital. antiche (18o6). In his memoir on the so-called Etruscan vases (Dei vasi antichi dipinti volgarmente chiamati Etruschi, 18o6) Lanzi rightly perceived their See also:Greek origin and characters. What was true of the antiquities would be true also, he argued, of the Etruscan language, and the See also:object of the Saggio di lingua Etrusca was to prove that this language must be related to that of the neighbouring peoples—See also:Romans, Umbrians, Oscans and Greeks. He was allied with E. Q. See also:Visconti in his great but never accomplished See also:plan of illustrating antiquity altogether from existing literature and monuments. His notices of See also:ancient See also:sculpture and its various styles appeared as an appendix to the Saggio di lingua Etrusca, and arose out of his See also:minute study of the treasures then added to the Florentine collection from the See also:Villa See also:Medici. The abuse he met with from later writers on the Etruscan language led See also:Corssen (Sprache der Etrusker, i. p. vi.) to protest in the name of his real services to See also:philology and archaeology. Among his other productions was an edition of See also:Hesiod's See also:Works and Days, with valuable notes, and a See also:translation in terra rima. Begun in 1785, it was recast and completed in 18o8. The See also:list of his works closes with his Opere sacre, a See also:series of See also:treatises on spiritual subjects. Lanzi died on the 3oth of See also:March 181o.
