Emilio,

The full name of Born's 1780 work is "Musei Caesarei Vindobonenis Testacea"  That is how it is spelled on the overleaf introduction page. On the title page which includes Born's full name and authorship it is listed as "Testacea Musei Caesarei Vindobonensis".  The publication date is listed as 1780 -- I am only aware of this single publication (done in Latin) documenting the collection of the Empress of Austria Maria Theresa (mother of Marie Antoinette).

Hope this helps,

Wayne Harland
