Summary "Ephemerides Barometricæ Mutinenses (anni M.DC.XCIV)" by Bernardino Ramazzini et al. is a scientific publication written in the late 17th century. This work focuses on meteorological observations specifically related to barometric measurements and the impact of atmospheric conditions on mercury levels in barometers. It reflects the early efforts of scientists to understand weather patterns and atmospheric pressure, contributing to the field of meteorology. The opening of the publication introduces Ramazzini's observations regarding the behavior of mercury in a Torricellian barometer over a year, correlating its movements to various weather conditions. He discusses his experiments and findings, noting that contrary to established beliefs, mercury levels often drop when rainy weather is expected, disputing prior assumptions about atmospheric weight. The section also highlights Ramazzini's ongoing investigation into the relationship between atmospheric pressure and weather phenomena, underscoring a scientific exploration of natural laws during a period when such systematic study was just beginning.
