La guirlande de Julie: augmentée de documents nouveaux by Uzanne and Montausier

"La guirlande de Julie: augmentée de documents nouveaux" by Uzanne and Montausier is a famous French poetic manuscript from the 17th century. Created in 1638, this extraordinary work began when Charles de Sainte-Maure sought to win the heart of Julie d'Angennes by commissioning poets from the salon of Rambouillet to write verses. Each poem celebrates Julie through the language of flowers, calligraphed on vellum by Nicolas Jarry and illuminated with floral miniatures by Nicolas Robert—creating one of the most remarkable literary treasures of its era.
