The most intelligent man in the world. The works of William Sidis (1898 – 1944 ) William James Sidis, born in Boston in 1898 to Russian émigré Boris, a psychologist and his wife Sarah, a physician, showed astonishing intellectual qualities from an exceptionally early age. By the age of one he had learned to spell in English. He taught himself to type in French and German at four and by the age of six had added Russian, Hebrew Turkish and Armenian to his repertoire. At five he devised a system which could enable him to name the day of the week on which any date in history fell.

Hot-housed by his pushy father, Sidis entered Harvard at eleven, and was soon lecturing on 4 dimensional bodies to the University’s Maths Society. It was then that his troubles began . With Sidis, as with most freaks of nature, it is sometimes hard to separate fact from fiction. In journals and typewritten newsletters. But there are problems for any collector starting out.
