Hi Judy ~ Thanks much for sending the exhibition catalog; marvelously done! I have to admit being totally flattered that my contribution even rated a mention for something so minor! I try and collect old botanical prints and books but with something so expensive, I don't often get much. I have to satisfy myself with reprints which, of course, while often very fine, don't have quite the feel of something hundreds of years old! However, I did obtain what is purported to be a page from Emanuel Sweert's Florilegeum. It is hand colored picture of (what I recall to be) a scilla of pale lavender-blue; I think it is also on vellum. I haven't seen the sheet since it has been packed away since we moved to CA some six years ago. According to the dealer, the Florilegeum was published in 1604. One of the exhibits in Buried Treasures is also a page from this book but the date of publication is given as 1612. I suppose it's a minor thing but I'd like to know for certain. Too, is there somewhere I could look at the pages (digitally or in a reprint) in this florilegeum to see if what I have actually appears in the book? Best, Dave Karnstedt
