The first Italian journal of mesmerism. The author of "L'Ipnotismo e gli Stati Affini," online at neurolinguistic.com, says the journal was published for eight years between 1850 and 1860, but only two bound volumes, marked 1853 and 1854, have survived and they appear to have been all that were published. It consisted of long, discursive articles devoted primarily to the "scientific" (medical) uses of magnetism. Crabtree 662.

Claude-Generated Themes:   Read across 1853–1854, the Cronaca del Magnetismo Animale is an Italian organ of the mesmeric tradition, distinguished by a strong current of Reichenbach's 'od' or odic force and magnetic effluvia — the invisible emanation made visible to sensitives in the dark. Around this run the standard mesmeric material: magnetic somnambulism, lucidity, and the fluid. A specimen of Italian animal magnetism at mid-century, tracking the Continental fascination with Reichenbach's experiments.
