[Sguario, Eujsebio] - Dell'elettricismo, o sia delle forze elettriche de' corpi svelate dalla fisica sperimentale, con - 1746
This book stands as one of the earliest comprehensive Italian texts on electricity, and it's by Eusebio Sguario (1717–1764), a Venetian-born physician with a keen interest in experimental physics.
It features a title page printed in red and black, and three half-page engravings (vignettes) of scientific apparatus embedded within the text.
The book includes a charming yet curious frontispiece—depicting a young lady seemingly being electrified while on a swing—alongside lavish decorative elements in the book.
Ladies figure in the book as being especially susceptible to electricity and its cures: 'women generally are electrized more easily, and in a better manner, than men, but in one or the other sex a fiery and sulfurous
temperament better than others, and youths better than old people'. (page 288). Also cited in Arthur Firstenberg, The Invisible Rainbow: a history of electricity and life (2017) in chapters 2 and 3.
This first edition is exceedingly rare and the later 1747 is much more common. The book has been recently republished and has been much studied.
