Due to the occasional curiosity of some technicians, an early compendium of scientific and medical technologies was compiled. This work formed part of a two-volume set, the other being Physica Curiosa, authored by the Jesuit scholar Gaspar Schott and published in 1664 during the early stages of the Scientific Revolution. Technica Curiosa is a fascinating blend of scientific observation and prevailing beliefs of the time. It included descriptions of natural phenomena, as well as accounts of what were then considered to be miraculous or monstrous occurrences. The mention of technician curiosity is very important. This shows that not all of the scientific advancement of the time was coming from strictly academic sources. People that worked with tools, and machines also had a great interest in the world around them
