L'astrologia conuinta di falso col mezzo di nuoue esperienze, e ragioni fisico-astronomiche, o' sia La caccia del frugnuolo di Geminiano Montanari modanese
A 1685 Italian astronomy treatise by Geminiano Montanari, printed for readers of natural philosophy, with decorative woodcut initials and a dense printed text page. The pictures show ornamental woodcut borders and a foliate capital A, while the text page shows the book's plain Italian roman type; a designer could take from them the interlaced scrollwork, floral stems and urns of baroque print ornament, along with the compact typographic colour of early modern pages.
