These images come from the fabled manuscript, ‘Liber Floridus’ (Book of Flowers), a Medieval encyclopædia produced some 900 years ago by Lambert, Canon of St Omer, in the NE France/Flanders/Belgium region.
“For Lambert the encyclopedia is a heavenly meadow where the “flowers of literature” flourish together to attract faithful readers by their sweetness.”(via BibliOdyssey: Liber Floridus)
