Specialist Notes
Original and unique edition of this work by Luigi Francesco Castellani (1727-1794), a doctor, native of Sermide (Mn); in it the Author refutes, through solid clinical case studies, the theories that from Galen to Van Swieten declared tuberculosis to be a contagious disease. Thus De Renzi (514): "Luigi Francesco Castellani… tries to eradicate from the minds of the common people a deep-rooted error, by which many miserable sick people were defrauded of necessary help, and almost abandoned to the mercy of their martyrdom..." § Little known, interesting treatise on perspirations and secretions edited by Dr. Joannes de Gorter (1689-1762). The work includes: the printer's notice to the reader, the prefaces, the index, the text De Perspiratione insensibili tractatus, divided into XVIII chapters; then, to follow, the text De insensibili perspiratione aphorismi cum eorum scholiis; the Index and approval.
