A Latin botanical catalogue of plants from the Amsterdam Hortus Botanicus, published in Amsterdam in 1697 by the Blaeu firm and Abraham van Someren, compiled by Johannes Commelin and annotated by Frederik Ruysch and Frans Kiggelaar for scholars and botanists. The pictures are small, repeated copper-engraved floral vignettes: a classical urn overflowing with flowers and foliage, flanked by scrolls and swags, which a designer could draw on for ornamental borders, tailpieces or heraldic-style decoration.
