Matteo Bartoli

Matteo Giulio Bartoli was an Italian linguist from Istria. He obtained a doctorate at the University of Vienna. He was influenced by certain theories of the Italian philosopher Benedetto Croce and the German linguist Karl Vossler. He later also studied with Jules Gilliéron in Paris. From Gilliéron he acquired a penchant for fieldwork, and from 1900 on, he published numerous dialectological studies of Istrian dialects.
