Miscellanea Curiosa, sive Ephemiridum Medico-Physicarum Germanicarum Academiae Naturae Curiosorum
Miscellanea Curiosa is a 1689 volume of medical and natural-philosophy journal entries issued at Vratislavia by the Leopoldina, the Imperial German Academy of Natural Scientists, for physicians and naturalists. Its pictures are copperplate and woodcut plates: three fleshy scrollwork and floral ornaments, plus a botanical specimen labelled Fig. 45, with fine hatching and crisp outlines that suggest period decorative vocabulary for botanical or ornamental designs.
