Curiosa

For example, in 1732, the antiquarian Francis Peck published in Desiderata Curiosa a list of documents in his possession that he intended to print someday.

From 24 July to 29 August, the Cure headlined the Curiosa concert tour of North America.

In 1664, his work again appeared in print, again through the good offices of Fr. Schott, the first section of whose book Technica Curiosa, entitled Mirabilia Magdeburgica, was dedicated to von Guericke's work.

In a letter of November 1661 to Fr. Schott, reproduced in the Technica Curiosa, he notes that the then projected Book IV would be concerned with "cosmic potencies" (virtutes mundanae).

In a subsequent letter of December 30, 1661 (Technica Curiosa p. 52) he gives a somewhat amplified account.

The earliest reference to the celebrated Magdeburg hemispheres experiment is on p. 39 of the Technica Curiosa, where Fr. Schott notes that von Guericke had mentioned them in a letter of July 22, 1656.

The new pump is also described on p. 67 of the Technica Curiosa.
