Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MARSIGLI [Latinized MARSILIUS], LUIGI FERDINANDO, COUNT (16581730) , Italian soldier and scientific writer, was born at Bologna on the loth of July 1658. After a course of scientific studies in his native city he travelled through Turkey collecting data on the military organization of that empire, as well as on its natural history. On his return he entered the service of the emperor
Leopold
  (1682) and fought with distinction against the Turks, by whom he was wounded and captured in an
action on the river Raab, and sold to a pasha whom he accompanied to the siege of Vienna. His release was
purchased
  in 1684, and he afterwards took
part
  in the war of the Spanish succession. In 1703 he was appointed second in command under
Count
  Arco in the defence of Alt-
Breisach
 . The fortress surrendered to the duke of
Burgundy
 , and both Arco and Marsigli were court martialled; the former was condemned to death and the latter cashiered, although acquitted of blame by public
opinion
 . Having thus been forced to give up soldiering, he devoted the rest of his life to scientific investigations, in the pursuit of which he made many journeys through Europe, spending a considerable time at
Marseilles
  to study the nature of the sea. In 1712 he presented his collections to his native city, where they formed the nucleus of the Bologna Institute of Science and Art. He died at Bologna on the 1st of November 1730. Marsigli was a fellow of the London Royal Society and a member of the Paris
Academy
  of Science.
