Athanasius Kircher fue un jesuita polaco del siglo XVII que impartió clases de lenguas orientales en el Colegio de Roma que su orden tenía en el Vaticano. Investigó y publicó obras sobre historia y ciencias naturales. Se ocupó del mundo antiguo en Egipto y en el Lacio romano. Se interesó por los mundos subterráneos, los secretos de la luz, la música, las lenguas orientales y la
creación de una lengua universal. Sobre las lenguas redactó "Novum linguarum omnium ad unam redactorum" (1660), que trató de una nueva lengua, y "Poligraphia" (1663), centrada en los procedimientos para cifrar mensajes secretos.

Athanasius Kircher vivió la mayor parte de su existencia en Roma, donde murió el 27 de noviembre de 1680, y fue enterrado en la iglesia de Gesú, cuyo edificio él mismo se encargó de restaurar.
