Montanari, Geminiano, 1633-1687 · 1694 · In Parma : Ad instanza d'A. Poletti · 1 picture

A 1694 Italian dialogue on physics and mathematics by the astronomer Geminiano Montanari, printed in Parma at the instance of A. Poletti, describing a whirlwind that struck towns near Mantua, Padua and Verona in 1686. The picture is a small printer's ornament: a symmetrical flourish of scrolls, leaves and foliage framing a central monogram, with a 'Parma' imprint line below, suggesting a compact decorative device a designer could adapt for a title block or border.
