Thomas of Ireland's Manipulus florum (1483). Ff. 42v-43r

This florilegium, composed around 1306, compiles over 5,000 citations attributed to classical, patristic and medieval authors, all organised thematically and alphabetically, from abstinentia to Christus. In Spain it also spread very quickly, especially after its first impression of 1483. The utility provided to the reader by the cross-reference system that Thomas Hibernus invented (through letters that identified citations) was the key to his success.
