Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1784

Strictly speaking, this Academy was not a scholary society, but rather a teaching college to educate military physicians for the Austrian army. We have included it because Reuss indexed its Acta. According to a Wikipedia article, Kaiser Joseph II founded it in 1784, and opened it in 1785. The article also notes that in 1874 the academy was finally closed.

Acta Academiae Caes. Reg. Josephinae Medico-Chirurgicae Vindobonensis

The entry in the Zeitschriftendatenbank(ZDB) gives the sponsoring body as Römische Kaiserliche Königliche Josephinische Medicinisch-Chirurgische Academie.

A natural question to ask is whether there is a relationship between this volume of the Acta and the first volume of the Abhandlungen, even though none of the catalogue records suggest this. Here we present some evidence to support this contention; the information was gained by an examination of the first several dozen pages of the online versions of both the Acta and the first volume of the Abhandlungen.

In the Acta, the first article (pp.1-54) is entitled "Dissertatio de Fungo Articulationis Genu" and was written by Juan Alex. Brambilla; the title suggests that this article concerned the knee joint. In the Abhandlungen, the first article (pp.1-66) was entitled "Abhandlung vom Gliedschamme am Knie" and was written by D. Johann Alexander von Brambilla; the title suggests that this article concerns the knee joint.

In the Acta, the 2nd article (pp.55-78) is entitled "Dissertatio de Usu Corticis Chinae, Mercurii, Opiique in Tetano a Vulnere"..." and was written by D. Jos. Jac. Plenk; this article concerns the use of various pharmaceuticals to treat tetanus caused by a wound. In the Abhandlungen, the 2nd article (pp.67-91) is entitled "Abhandlung über den Gebrauch der Fieberrinde, der Quecksilbers, und des Opiums beym Tentanus von einer Verwundung." and was written by Joseph Jakob Plenk. Like the Latin article, this article also concerns the use of various pharmaceuticals to treat tetanus caused by a wound.

It is reasonable to conclude that the Acta is indeed a translation of the first volume of the Abhanlungen.

Acta Acad. Med. Chirurg. Viodobonensis
[Reuss, v.10, p.90 cites T. I, p. 228 - an article by William Hunter. NOTE: There is clearly an error in the fifth word in the abbreviation; surely "Vindobonensis" is intended. The title of the article cited is simply the Latin for the German article title in the Abhandlungen (an article on some unnatural formations of a heart and the nearby blood vessels).]
