This date is supported by p.273 of
Turchini (1979).
Turchini (1979), p.273, indicates that
this was an academy of physicians who met to discuss only scientific
topics in debates of a speculative nature, as the motto
per coniecturas chosen for their coat of arms hints at.
As early as 1761, the Accademia became the object of ill-will from the
local college of physicians, who wanted to bring the Accademia under
control (Turchini (1979), p.280).
Although by 1764 the Duke agreed to allow the Accademia to elect
whomever they pleased as leader, the controversy had already had a serious
negative influence on the scientific and cultural activity of the young
academicians
(Turchini (1979), p.281-282).
According to Turchini (1979), p.282, footnote
43, the last recorded meeting of the Accademia occurred in 1766. It is
further noted that the Accademia survived some time after that, at least
to 1788, since Bedinelli in his work
Epicrisi sopra alcuni errori e vani giudizi del volgo
(Pesaro 1788) adorns himself with the title
socio nell'accademia de' congetturanti de Modena.

Dissertationes habitae in Academia Medica Conjecturantium, quae
Mutinae est
Turchini, p.279 refers to
this as a second volume of essays by the society, indicating that it was
printed as a block within another publication, with a preamble and its own
separate pagination (in Latin numbers).
He identifies the publication in which this appeared as t.5 (1759) of
Nuova Raccolta d'Opuscoli Scientifici e Filologici, edited
by Angelo Calogerà;
a copy of this is located in the
GBV German Union cat., the
Univ Calif. cat., and the
Harvard Univ. cat..
Note: Turchini erroneously gives the final word in the
title as filosofici.
