Ephemerides barometricae Mutinenses anni M.DC.XCIV : unà cum disquisitione causae ascensus, ac descensus mercurii in Torricelliana fistulâ iuxta diversum aeris statum
A 1695 scholarly volume of barometric weather observations recorded at Modena by physicians Bernardino Ramazzini, Giovan Battista Boccabadati and Francesco Torti, printed there by the Capponi and Pontiroli presses for a learned readership of natural philosophers and physicians. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a decorated initial N, an initial L with a seated scholar reading, a foliate headpiece with a face, and a fleur-de-lis tailpiece, useful to a designer seeking compact period decorative elements for borders and drop caps.
