As an example of a European book of plant-pictures, it's very interesting. However, I wonder if it shouldn't be moved to a thread about that subject?
Codicology is about the materials and methods used in constructing the artefact as such. Palaeography is about hand-writing - and not so much about the content embodied in a written text.
I'm sure it would be easy to fill a whole thread with examples of illustrated plant-books and herbals. The special thread wouldn't be wasted.
