MARUCELLI, FRANCESCO. - Florentine scholar and bibliophile, b. March 1, 1625, d. in Rome on July 26, 1703. From the age of twenty-three he lived in Rome, where he devoted himself above all to collecting books. He was benefited by Pope Clement XI. He compiled a great universal bibliographical repertory by subjects (ca. 6000) entitled Mare magnum, preserved in manuscript, with the additions of his nephew Msgr. Alessandro Marucelli (111 vols. in all), in the Biblioteca Marucelliana in Florence, willed by the founder "publicae, maxime pauperum utilitati."
