BALBI, ADRIAN (1782-1848)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 241 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BALBI, ADRIAN (1782-1848) , Italian geographer, was born at Venice on the 25th of
April
  1782. The publication of his Prospetto politico-geografico dello state allude del globe (Venice,
18o8) obtained his election to the chair of professor of geography at the college of San Michele at Murano; in 18r11813 he was professor of physics at the Lyceum of Fenno, and afterwards became attached to the customs office at his native city. In 182o he visited Portugal, and there collected materials for his Essai statistique sur le royaume de Portugal et d' Algarve, published in 1822 at Paris, where the author resided from 1821 until 1832. This was followed by Varietes politiques et statistiques de la monarchie portugaise, which contains some curious observations respecting that country under the Roman sway. In 1826 he published the first volume of his Atlas ethnographique du globe, ou classification des peuples anciens et modernes d'apres leurs langues, a
work
  of
great
  erudition. In 1832 appeared the Abrege de Geographic, which, in an enlarged form, was translated into the
principal
  languages of Europe. Balbi retired to Padua and there died on the 14th of
March
  1848. His son, Eugenio Balbi (1812-1884), followed a similar career, being professor of geography at Pavia, and publishing his father's Scritti Geografici (
Turin
 , 1841), and
original
  works in Gea, ossia la terra (Trieste, 18541867) and Saggio di geografia (
Milan
 , 1868).
