An eclectic figure and ‘scientist writer’, Ovidio Montalbani (Bologna 1601-1671) annually compiled notebooks with astrological forecasts at the behest of the Bologna Senate. Of these forecasts, the Baroque "Discorsi" on the elements chosen here represent an appendix to treatise-writing in which literary memories are interwoven with scientific data. The volume offers Montalbani’s dissertations on wind, dew, clouds, snow and comets: the sequence of "meteori," the subject of scientific debate.
