About the Item
EMANUEL SWEERT (1552-1612)
Florilegium, tractans de variis floribus.
Frankfurt, 1612. Seed and Plant Catalogue.
Frankfurt, through 1647. Academic Florilegia.
Copper Plate Engravings with Hand-Coloring.
Sweert, a botanical writer and florist, was born at Zevenbergen in 1552 and died at Amsterdam in 1612. His son was the talented flower and landscape painter Jeronimus Sweerts.
Although little is known of his life and work, Emanuel Sweert did achieve a reputation as a Dutch florist and served at one time as Praefectus of the gardens of Emperor Rudolf II. Indeed it was at the Emperor’s behest that Sweert’s Florilegium was produced and published in Frankfurt. Blunt declares it is not know whether Sweert was an artist or merely editor of the Florilegium.
Florilegium was basically a plant catalogue of those specimens offered for sale by Sweert at the Frankfurt fair. There is no text, but rather brief catalogue labels in Latin, German, English, and French, of some 560 plants and flowers. It was especially noted for its many fine bulbous varieties, including tulips, and more exotic items like a South African species of blood lily and the one-foot in diameter giant bulb Boophone disticha, its poisonous leaves used to coat arrows. ‘Tulipomania’, an early 17th century economic phenomenon in which commodity market were highly volatile, was said to have been greatly affected by Sweert’s renderings of bulbous plants.
Successive editions of the Florilegium became more scholastic to meet the increasing academic interest of both botanists and gardeners.
