Miscellanea Curiosa, sive Ephemiridum Medico-Physicarum Germanicarum Academiae Naturae Curiosorum
Miscellanea Curiosa is a 1683 medico-physical journal issued at Vratislavia by the Leopoldina academy of natural researchers, written in Latin for physicians and natural philosophers. Its pictures are printed ornaments: a symmetrical urn-and-foliage cartouche, a large decorated initial D beside Latin text, and scrolling strapwork and flower panels, which a designer could adapt for borders, dividers, or period-styled headers.
