Description

Le livre fleurissant en fleurs, a French prose translation of the Liber Floridus of Lambert of Saint-Omer. Illustrated with 128 pen drawings. The translation was probably based on Koninklijke Bibliotheek, KB, 72 A 23; the drawings are almost exact copies of those in that manuscript, though the drawings here are for the most part not colored.
