have you guys heard about the "infant scholar of Lübeck" christian heinrich heineken (germany)

he was an extraordinary child prodigy in the early 18th century he could speak french and latin at age 2 and he could read the Pentateuch even at age one according to wikipedia at least

also he authored "a history of denmark" at age 3

he died while being only 4 years old because of some shitty celiac disease that wasnt known at his time
