Acta eruditorum. 1691
Acta eruditorum for 1691 is a learned periodical printed at Leipzig by J. Grossius and J.F. Gletitsch, dedicated to Johann Georg IV of Saxony on its title page. Its plates show anatomical and natural-history specimens, a set of laboratory vessels and tables, and a formal dedication page in heavy black-letter capitals. A designer could draw on the engraved plates' precise hatching for scientific diagrams and the ornate dedication typography for period display type.
