Miscellanea Curiosa, sive Ephemiridum Medico-Physicarum Germanicarum Academiae Naturae Curiosorum

Academia Caesarea Leopoldino-Carolina Germanica Naturae Curiosorum · 1680 · Vratislaviae · 11 pictures

A learned journal of the Leopoldina academy of natural science, issued in 1680 at Breslau for physicians and naturalists of the German-speaking world. The four pictures are woodcut headpieces and ornaments, showing stylized floral bouquets, scrolled strapwork and fruit motifs that suggest 17th-century printed decoration for a designer studying historic type-ornament and vignette layouts.
