The book "... Danubius” is a real rarity. Its complete series are available only in 4-5 libraries in Hungary. Therefore it caused a sensation in professional circles when in 1983 the Borda Antiques offered to purchase the volumes for the Hungarian Museum of Water. After obtaining licenses from various authorities, the business was signed. The task of studying and translation of the monograph written in 18th century Latin language was the responsibility of Museum scientist Dr. András Deák, who over many years did research in Bologna and Vienna, and became one of today's best known Marsigli researcher. He translated the first volume describing the hydrographic conditions, which volume was published by the Water Public Collections (VMLK) in 2004. The interesting fact of this reprint publication is that the translation is available not only in Hungarian, but also in English, together with a bilingual extensive paper of the translator.
