Zusammen 4½ SS. auf Doppelblättern. 8vo. Mit zwei eh. adr. Kuverts. An den Mediziner und Klimatologen Rudolph Rt. von Vivenot jun. (1833-1870): "Die Brünnerzeitung brachte in diesen Tagen aus Ihrer geschätzten Feder eine Besprechung meines Werkchens 'Grundzüge einer Geschichte der Krankheitslehre im Mittelalter'. So sehr ich mich durch die gütige Nachsicht mit der Euer Hochwohlgeboren meine Arbeit beurtheilten beschämt fühlte, so sehr wurde mein lohnendes Bewußtsein dadurch gehoben, daß ich die Überzeugung gewann - Euer Hochwohlgeboren seien mit tiefem Verständnisse in den Geist meiner Intention eingedrungen [.]" (Br. v. 10. XI. 1868). - Rittmann war Leiter der Augenabteilung des Brünner Krankenhauses und einige Jahre Dozent an der Brünner technischen Hochschule. Im Mittelpunkt seines schriftstellerischen Interesses standen Fragen und Darstellungen zur Geschichte der Medizin. - Rudolf Rt. von Vivenot jun., der älteste Sohn aus der ersten Ehe des weithin gerühmten Wiener Mediziners selben Namens (1807-84) mit Josefine Baronin Metzburg (1810-38) und Bruder des Historikers Alfred (1836-74) aus Rudolf sen. zweiter Ehe mit Antonie von Bergenthal (1820-46), zählt zu den Pionieren der "experimentell-physiologischen Richtung der Klimatologie" in Wien. "Die Folge der in [seinen] Aufsätzen mitgetheilten Untersuchungen war, daß die pneumatische Heilmethode in Deutschland vollends eingebürgert wurde, so daß sich jetzt kaum noch eine größere deutsche Stadt findet, die nicht eine pneumatische Anstalt besäße" (Annette von Vivenot: Geschichte der Familie v. Vivenot. Wien, Steyrermühl, 1902, S. 59). - Die Recto-Seite von Bl. 1 jeweils mit knapper Bleistiftnotiz zum Verfasser von fremder Hand.…
