Norman 474. Garrison-Morton 4920:2. First edition to contain the material by Chiarugi. According to Worldcat only registred in 14 libraries. This edition contains material by Vincenzo Chiarugi on the regulations of the Bonifazio Hospital, built as a mental asylum. Under the enlightened rule of Peter Leopold, Duke of Tuscany, to whom the Regolamento is dedicated, the first law in Europe authorising hospital care for the insane was enacted in 1774. These regulations marked the first appearance in print of Chiarugi's landmark reforms in the humane treatment of the mentally ill.
