Le livre d'heures de la reine Anne de Brétagne...  Paris,
1841 [i.e. 1861] 2 v. Folio. (Lib. Cong.)

''Catalogue des plantes", 49 p. at end of vol.l.

Bib. Nat. Paris, Ms. lat. 9474. Reproduced in
facsimile by L. Curmer in 1859.

Contains 337 miniature paintings of plants, flowers,
fruits, insects, &c, the work of Jean Bourdichon (1457-
1521); also vignettes representing seasonal agricultural
activities like sheep shearing, wine making &c.

Temporary memorandum; work not checked or verified for this
bibliography, but probably should be included for its drawings
of plants &c, probably comprising the majority cf crops and ornamentals
known in France at the end of the 15th century. Tho
not actually published until 1861, we have occasionally included 
other works long remaining in Ms and printed after 1800, as
"Le Menagier de Paris" (c.1393), issued in 2 v., Paris, 1846.
