Tito Livio Burattini, 1617 to 1681, was an inventor, architect, Egyptologist, scientist, instrument maker and engineer born at Agordo in the Republic of Venice who spent his working life in Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania after King Ladislaus IV invited him there in 1641. He built a model flying machine in Warsaw in 1647, proposed a universal system of measurement in his 1675 book Misura universale, and made lenses for microscopes and telescopes. He is credited with building a calculating machine, given to Grand Duke Ferdinando II, that borrows from both a Blaise Pascal machine and Napier's rods, which places him among the seventeenth century makers of mechanical calculators.
