Four varieties of minor bulb, two of which are ‘scilla’ or squill. The designs are beautifully balanced on the page and the captions elegantly inscribed. Emanuel Sweert's Florilegium was first printed in Frankfurt by Kempner in 1612 -1614. It was originally a sales catalogue for plants and bulbs from Sweert's gardens, to be sold at fairs in Frankfurt and Amsterdam. Sweert was prefect of the gardens of the Emperor Rudolf II.
