Excerpt from The General Biographical Dictionary, Vol. 5: Containing an Historical and Critical Account of the Lives and Writings of the Most Eminent Persons in Every Nation; Particularly the British and Irish; From the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time
Benvenuti (joseph), an Italian surgeon, or rather physician, was born in the territory of Lucca, about the year 1728. He received the degree of doctor, began practice at Sarzano in 1755, as a member of the faculty; in 1756 was chosen member of the German imperial Society and in 1758 of the royal society of Gottingen, while he was practising at the baths of Lucca, In 1753, he hap pened to be at a place in that republic, called Brandeglio, where an epidemic fever of a particular kind prevailed, which he treated with great success by means of mercury. This formed the subject of his treatise, entitled Disser tatio historico-epistolaris, Lucca, 1754, 8vo, ably de fending the preference he found it necessary to give to mercury over the bark, and vindicating Dr. Bertini, of whom he learned that method, against certain opponents. Benvenuti's other works are, 1. De Lucensium Therma rum sale tractatus, Lucca, 1758, 8vo. This he also trans lated into Italian, with a letter on the virtues of these' waters. 2. Riflessioni sopra gli effetti del moto u ca. Vallo, Lucca, 1760, 4to. 3. Dissertatio physica de Lumine, Vienne, 1761, 4. De rubiginis frumentum corrumpentis causa et medela, Lucca, 1762. 5. Ob servationum medicarum quae anatomiw superstructm sunt, collectio prima, Lucca, 1764, 12mo. He also promoted the publication of the first volume of the Dissertationes et Quaestiones medicare magis celebres, Lucca, 1757, 8vo. Our authority does not give the date of his death.
