146 REPORT OF THE TULIP NOMENCLATURE COMMITTEE. 



1626. J. D. DE BRY. Anthologia magna. Frankfort. 



A picture of a fine branching tulip is given on Plate VIII. There 

 are also three plates of garden varieties. 



1629, J. PARKINSON. * Paradisi in sole paradisus terrestris. London. 

 Many pages are devoted to tulips wild species and garden varieties 

 are included. He gives a list of 140. There are many illustrations. 



1632. P. LAUREMBERG. Apparatus plantarius. Frankfort. 



Many interesting sidelights on early tulip history are given in the 

 author's enumeration of the varieties he has known. A blue tulip 

 is mentioned as a pium desiderium. " Gesnerus . , . Clusius . . . 

 Hondius . . . fatentur neque oculis, neque manibus se Tulipas caeruleas 

 unquam usurpasse." 



1633. J. B. FERRARIUS. De florum cultura. (Libri iv.) Rome. 



Notes on the growth and cultivation of tulips. Details about 

 T. persica bicolor and T. bombycina. 



1633. Author unknown. Theatrum Florae. Paris. 



Many illustrations of garden tulips. An earlier edition is dated 

 1622. 



1637. Author unknown. Adriaen Roman, publisher. * T'Samen- 



spraecken tusschen Waermondt ende Gaergoedt. Haarlem. 



Most of our detailed knowledge of mania ways and customs 



comes from this work. It is an imaginary conversation between two 



weavers(?) about the buying and selling of tulips in the mad times of 



1635-1637. 



In the two later editions (1643 and 1 734) other pamphlets are usually 

 bound up with "T'Samenspraecken," I am unable to say if it is the 

 case with the first edition. 



1637. P- Cos. Verzameling van een meenigte Tulipanen naer het 



leven, &c. Haarlem. 



A catalogue of tulips of the year 1637. 

 1638 (c.). HENDRICK G. Pox. "Flora's Carriage of Fools." 



This painting by Pot is in the Municipal Picture Gallery of Haarlem, 

 and is probably the original of a black-and-white caricature of the 

 mania period. It is reproduced in Murray's article in the R.H.S. 

 Journal for July 1909, p. 25. 



1640. Author unknown. Meteranus novus das 1st Niederlandischer 



Historien. (Vierter Theil. Lib. 47-55.) Amsterdam. 

 Historical reports concerning the mania and the special laws 

 passed in connexion therewith. 



1641. MATT. MERIAN. Florilegium Renovatum et Auctum. Frank- 



fort. 



There is a picture of a branching tulip on a plate numbered 8. 

 " Tulipa serolina major polyanthos." 



1641. EMANUEL SWEERT. * Florilegium amplissimum et selectissimum. 

 Amsterdam. 



In this edition there are many pictures of the flowers of tulips 

 with about half an inch of stem. There is a short Latin description of 

 each. The first edition of this work was published at Frankfort and 

 is dated 1612. 



1643. Author unknown. * Floraes sotte bollen afgemaelt in Dichten 



en Sangen door verscheyde autheuren tot Amstelredam 



voor Cornelis Danckaertsz anno 1643. Haarlem.

* These books can be consulted in the Lindley Library.
