Magistri Linguio was written by 1907 by Stephen Chase Houghton as an IAL.
Uniqueness
Paul Bartlett has been a tireless documenter of past IAL projects and has carefully typed and formatted The Master Language, a language proposal published in 1907. Magistri Linguio (its name translated to its vocabulary) is based on Latin, the long-time IAL of Europe. The language uses a modified Latin vocabulary with English word order in place of the Latin declensional system. Houghton did not actually develop a dictionary, instead specifying how existing Latin words would be transformed to their Magistri Linguio forms. An interesting project for someone would be to actually adapt the Latin lexicon to provide a dictionary for the language.
