Pyronarcha sive de fulminum natura de que febrium origine libri duo : in quibus & fulminum in mundo magno, & febrium in mundo paruo caussae naturales omnes, modus originis, idea, proprietates, differentiae, ac effectus admirabiles accurate tractantur : diligenter explicato vetere gripho pyronarchae, a caelio igiano inter flores medicos descripto
Pyronarcha is a 1634 Latin medical treatise by the Italian philosopher-physician Fortunio Liceti, printed at Padua, on lightning and fever with an explanation of an ancient gryphon emblem. The pictures include a fragment of crosshatched engraving, a carved stone figure with a headdress, a Latin motto cartouche showing two figures in combat, and an ornate decorated initial C framed by scrolls and foliage, giving a designer scholarly baroque ornament and emblem-style framing.
