Many thanks Marco, that's a great effort.
Good also that you managed to find a way to directly link to the Paris BN digitised images. (Does it work for all?).
Two points about the two herbals you are showing:
BN Lat 17844 has little dragons drawn near many of the herbs. More than any other alchemical herbal.
In BN Lat 17848 the drawings have all been squeezed vertically to fit in a smaller space (although apparently quite unnecessarily, as there is usually lots of space below the text).
