LANCISI, GIOVANNI MARIA. 1654-1720.
De noxiis paludum effluviis, eorumque remediis. Rome: Giovanni Maria Salvioni, 1717. 4to (235 x 167 mm). Engraved folding map, engraved chapter headers and initials in text, introductory text in Latin and Greek. Contemporary vellum, gilt-titled morocco spine label. Minor staining to covers, stains to margins, spotting.Provenance: Janus Foundation (bookplate).Lancisi noted the correlation between drainage of marshes and occurrences of malaria, and correctly ascribed the transmission of the disease to mosquitoes. He also held the belief that quinine could be used to treat the disease. The folding map suggests a plan for draining the marshy areas south of the city.
