Titel, 32 SS. (Vorgebunden:) Ders. Vergleichend-climatologische Skizze über die Niederschlags- und Temperaturverhältnisse von Deutschland, Italien, Sicilien, Nord-Afrika und Madeira. Wien, Auer, 1860. 18, (4) SS. Halbleinen d. Zt. mit goldgeprägten Deckeltitel. 8vo. Vivenots persönliches Handexemplar mit zahlr. eigenh. Ergänzungen sowie 6 eh. Federzeichnungen. Vivenots Notizen im breiten weißen Rand betreffen zumeist die einer Taucherglocke ähnliche Apparatur, in welcher der Luftdruck nach Bedarf variiert werden konnte; so sind beispielsweise die verschiedenen Besitzer dieses Apparats namentlich vermerkt (Erwerb durchwegs nach Datum der Publikation), auch die Zeichnungen betreffen Konstruktionsdetails desselben. - Rudolf Rt. von Vivenot jun. zählt zu den Pionieren der „experimentell-physiologische Richtung der Klimatologie“ in Wien. „In einer Reihe von Arbeiten untersuchte er die Wirkung der Luftfeuchtigkeit, des Luftdruckes, der Temperatur auf den Körper. Er nimmt damit Bestrebungen auf, wie sie in der französischen Medizin von Junod, Tabarié, Bertin u. a. verfolgt wurden" (E. Lesky). „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).
