The author, whose knowledge of the disease is notable, examines how the Tifo epidemic unfolded within the context of the region's topography and climate, as well as contemporary medical practices and understanding. The author's research meticulously investigates the origins of the disease and its subsequent spread throughout the town, noting that the majority of those affected were between the ages of 10 and 60, and that the spread was primarily through contact with infected individuals or their belongings. The author also discusses the various medical treatments used to combat Tifo during this period, including bloodletting and the administration of quinine and purgatives, and evaluates their effectiveness. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the disease, its symptoms, and the challenges faced by medical practitioners of the time in containing its spread. This book offers a valuable historical perspective on Tifo and its impact on 19th-century Italian society, and highlights the significance of understanding the origins and nature of infectious diseases for effective prevention and treatment strategies.

Small Octavo (15.5x11cm). D1-4 (disbound) and E1-O8 (84 leaves) - and therefore lacking entirely the first 3 gatherings, half the fourth and everything after O8. This represents about two thirds of the book as published, which contained 128 leaves. Hardcover / Bound in modern vellum with the armorial bookplate of 'William Bliss' and blanks preceding the text amounting to the first 4 gatherings and afterwards. D1-4 are laid in and heavily worn with traces of an early inscription on the first leaf; the bound gatherings are in good to very good condition, a little staining. Overall 116 of the book's 158 wood cuts are present, none of them the double-page city views. Comparison with other examples of this book suggests that this is one of the editions published by Zoppino in Venice between 1518 and 1538 all of which survive in tiny numbers.
