Encyclopedia : M : MA : MAT : Matteo Bartoli

Matteo Giulio Bartoli (22 November 1873, Albona d'Istria, Austria-Hungary - 23 January 1946 Turin) was an Italian linguist. He studied at the Wien University and was a professor at the Turin University from 1907 until his death.

His study on the Dalmatian language, Das Dalmatische (2 vol. 1906) is the only known complete description of the language, which is now extinct. He wrote it in Italian and later published a translation to German. However, the original Italian is now lost and only in 2000 an Italian translation from German was published.

He also wrote Introduzione alla neolinguistica ("Introduction in neolinguistics", 1925) and Saggi di linguistica spaziale ("Essays of spatial lingusitics",1945) and was the teacher of Antonio Gramsci.
