Luca Antonio Porzio (1639-1724), chief professor of medicine and anatomy in the Royal University of Naples.

It was published as a direct result of Porzio's presence in Venice in 1683 when the forces of the Ottoman Empire were laying siege to Vienna. The health of sailors is a short section, but on page 236 the author recommends keeping root vegetables in sand and fruit as juice "I am very certain, that the juices of fruits, as Oranges, Lemons, and Apples, might be boil'd to the consistence of a thick syrup or Rob, and preserved in proper vessels for any given times, so that a spoonful or more of it might occasionally be taken, dissolved in water, with very good effect, as a preservative against the bad consequences of such an animal diet as I have above taken notice of." Rare; ESTC locates 3 copies in the UK (BL; Durham; Wellcome) and 3 further copies in North America (Society of Cincinnati; National Library of Medicine; University of Illinois).

Enquête (par un membre de la résistance?) sur le régime pénitentiaire des détenus de droit commun et politiques. Il est question de la nourriture, (confiscation des colis, morts de faim), de l'absence de soins médicaux, d'hygiène même élémentaire, de la discipline sauvage, du "mitard" appliqué aux politiques. L'auteur du rapport décrit également les tortures pratiquées sur les hommes et sur les femmes. Le nom de certains détenus est indiqué ainsi que ceux de quelques tortionnaires.
