A person with many talents. The term has been widely used since Swiss historian Burckhardt characterized the universal genius born in the Renaissance as a "universal man" in his book "Renaissance Culture in Italy" (1860). The universal man is contrasted with a "singular man" who is talented only in a specific field, and is also distinguished from an encyclopedic intellectual or a universal artist who is not narrow but whose talent is limited to a specific field, such as scholarship or art.

多面的才能を兼ねそなえた人間。スイスの史家ブルクハルトが《イタリアにおけるルネサンス文化》(1860)のなかで,ルネサンスが生んだ万能の天才を〈普遍人uomo universale〉として特色づけて以来,広く使用されるようになった。普遍人は,特異な狭い領域にのみ才能を発揮する〈異才人uomo singolare〉と対比され,他方,狭くはないがその広さが特定の領域,たとえば学識や芸術にのみ限られる百科全書的知識人や万能芸術家とも区別される。
