Leprosy, a Malady called _Pians_, and Syphilis itself.” (p. 54). The
_Pians_ would seem to be Pox, the seeds of which the Moors disseminated,
Syphilis a “Morbus Europae inquilinus” (a Disease native to Europe).
The three Diseases are akin, and merge into one another.

_Sprengel_ in the Annotations to _P. Ant. Perenotti di Cigliano_, “Of
the Venereal Disease”, p. 348., calls this Work, which would seem to
be in the University Library of Göttingen: “a well-written Tract,
wherein, from p. 34 onwards, it is demonstrated that Venereal Disease
did not come from Hayti.” Comp. Götting. gelehrte Anzeig. 1788. Sect
169 p. 1614.

This Work with another of the same Author dealing with the treatment
of Venereal Disease was translated into German and furnished with
appendices by _C. Sprengel_, under the Title: _P. A. Perenotti di
Cigliano_, “Of the Venereal Disease, translated from the Italian,
with Appendices.” Leipzig 1791. pp. XVI, 384. large 8vo. The Author
maintains the antiquity of the Disease.

Of this there appeared a German translation by _Dr. Christ. Friedr.
Michaelis_. Zittau and Leipzig 1789. pp. 110. large 8vo. The Author
maintains the American origin, and especially seeks to confute _Becket_
and _Raynold Forster_.
