The journal of the Imperial German Academy of Natural Science (or Leopoldina) 
began in 1670, the volumes first being titled “Miscellanea Curiosa.” The 
research by members of the Academy, particularly in the fields of medicine and 
natural history, were first printed in this journal. Long runs are quite 
uncommon. See the NLM, 18th century, p. 2.
