Summary

Luca Stulli: Sulle detonazioni dell isola di Meleda

Very rare book about earthquakes on Mljet by the Dubrovnik doctor and physicist Luca Stulli

Stulli Luko (Luka), Croatian doctor and writer (Šumet near Dubrovnik, 22. IX. 1772 - Dubrovnik, 12. IX. 1828). He completed his studies in philosophy and medicine in Bologna in 1796. After returning to Dubrovnik, he held the positions of city physicist, hospital primarius and supervisor of all Dubrovnik hospitals. A member of Rome's Accademia degli Arcadi, he maintained cultural ties with Italian writers even after returning to Dubrovnik. He introduced vaccination against smallpox in Croatian regions (1801). Immediately after the discovery of vaccination and under the impression of a new medical method, he wrote the Latin poem Vaccinatio, carmen elegiacum, 1804). He is the author of numerous medical and natural science studies and medical reports (on outbreaks of smallpox, scarlet fever, plague, etc.), and with a short text on Mljet disease (mal de Meleda), in which he established that it is hereditary and not contagious, he occupied a prominent place in the history of dermatology. He believed that the causes of stuttering are psychogenic and should be treated with psychotherapy. He studied tectonic phenomena on the island of Mljet; he wrote a treatise on the commercial contracts of the Republic of Dubrovnik. He is the author of the comedy Eugenio e Riccardo and the farce Hunting of Henry IV. (La caccia de Enrico IV), and contemporary poetry in Italian and Latin, less often in Croatian. Defending the idea of the advantages of writing in the Italian language, he translated I. Đurđević and the Dubrovnik Latinists into Italian, and in the preface to the translation of three descriptions of the Dubrovnik earthquake of 1667 (Le tre descrizioni del terremoto di Ragusa del 1667, 1827) he presented our first criticism of Osman. A selection of his literary works was published posthumously in Bologna (1829). Stulli's work is a reflection of the Croatian culture of late classicism, in the atmosphere of the Enlightenment.
