Miscellanea curiosa is a 1677 medical and natural-science periodical printed at Breslau and Brieg by Johann Christoph Jacob for the Academia Naturae Curiosorum, the German society of natural researchers. Its copperplate pages show anatomical specimens, lumpy organic forms, and a decorative allegorical title border. A designer could draw on the engraved hatching, the botanical-style ornament framing the title, and the labelled figure grids that organise specimens on the page.
