Description: 9 leaves engraved with flowers and small creatures (bird, beetle, dragonfly, mouse, frog, etc.), perhaps intended as embroidery patterns. The frontispiece depicts Flora surrounded by flowers in a variety of vases on the background of a walled formal garden, over Latin verses in praise of flowers. These leaves are numbered 1-10. Another copy offered by Patrick & Elisabeth Sourget (Manuscrits et livres précieux du moyen âge au cubisme, 1989, p. 186-190) consists of 17 leaves, the first 13 being numbered 1-13; that copy also has no imprint, but is assigned to France about 1630.
Notes: Title from legend of frontispiece.

Binding: limp vellum.
