Miscellanea curiosa, sive, Ephemeridum medico-physicarum Germanicarum Academiae Naturae curiosorum
Miscellanea curiosa is a 1683 medical and natural-science journal issued at Nuremberg by the Academia Naturae Curiosorum, a German society of physicians, for other physicians and naturalists. Its engraved plates are dense, numbered anatomical and natural-history studies, and one sepia drawing of a branching, root-like growth. Designers may take from them the lively, precise engraved line and the tidy, labelled layout of early scientific print.
