"There are two translations of the "De aquaeductibus" from the original Latin into Italian, one by Prof. V. Mangano published in Rome in 1932, and another by Dr.ssa Linda Ricciardi-Mitolo published in Bari in 1951. The first is complete, the second contains the more relevant parts of Cotugno's monograph, from the Neapolitan version dated 1775. The present English translation by Eileen Mulligan follows Dr. Linda Ricciardi-Mitolo's selection. The facsimile copy of the Title Page of the text, some pages, key to illustrations and Cotugno's famous two Tables are from a copy of the Vienna edition dated 1774. The facsimile copy of the frontispiece portrait of Cotugno is from a copy of the "Opera Posthuma", both from the private library of one of the editors (S.I.). It is a pleasure for us to offer this first English translation of Cotugno's monograph to the participants of the XXXIV Workshop on Inner Ear Biology held in Apulia, 13th-16th September, 1997 and to the Members of the Italian Society of Audiology, which is one of the sponsors of this meeting."

SCARCE FIRST WIEN EDITION OF A REPORT ON THE LOCALIZATION OF THE SMALLPOX VIRUS, WRITTEN BY DOMENICO COTUGNO Domenico Cotugno 's (1736-1822) investigative report on the localization of variola pustules, the smallpox virus. Cotugno describes the history and pathology of smallpox as well as providing a comprehensive description of the virus and ways to prevent the disfiguration of the face. First published in 1769 in Venice, 29 years before Jenner's discovery, he concludes that they are only external and do not affect internal organs. the internal mucous membranes however, were also affected when exposed to the air, as he was able to observe in a patient's prolapsed intestine and haemorrhoids. Cotugno's contribution to the study of the disease came at the cusp of Jenner's research and success with the smallpox vaccine, making this work an important part of the early struggle to eradicate the disease from the modern world and it "is regarded as one of the finest dermatological works of the eighteenth century." Hair of Hippocrates Cotugno was professor of surgery and anatomy in Naples and he is best known for his studies, especially in the field of neurology. "In the early 19th century, his reputation as a physician was such that, as the saying went, ''no one in Naples could die without a passport from Cotugno''.; Extending his interests to preventive medicine and public health, Cotugno became a pioneer in epidemiology.

Naples: Simoniana, 1761, 8°, (0), 80, (8) pp., 2 gefalt. Kupfertafeln, alter Halbledereinband mit reichlicher Rückenveroldung; kleine Gelenkrestauration; druckfrisches Exemplar. First Edition! "Cotugno's dissertation, written when he was twenty-four, recorded his discovery of the aural aqueducts (cochleae and vestibuli) and of the cochlear duct. It also contained his highly important account of the labyrinthine fluid or liquor Cotunnii, which he is sometimes credited with discovering, although the fluid was first noted by Pyl in 1742. Cotugno was the first to establish that the fluid completely fills the cavities of the labyrinth (dethroning the ancient physiological concept of aer innatus), and proposed the first theory of hearing in which the labyrinthine fluid--a fundamental element in modern theories--was taken into account."
