To name a few, the Irish engineer Robert Mallet, the "founder of seismology", published a five part catalog entitled "On the Facts of Earthquake Phenomena" (Mallet, 1851, 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855), in which numerous reports on earthquake luminosities can be found. His catalog, first presented to the British Association of Science, covers the years 1606 B.C. to 1842 A.D.. Ignazio Galli, an Italian priest who graduated in Natural Sciences, published...
