Scope & content
Pen and ink drawings of three varieties of citrus, labelled P, Q, R. The full fruit is shown growing on the branch, alongside a corresponding cross section. There are three illustrations labelled 'P'. The page numbers alongside each illustration are those on which the illustrations appear in the published work 'Hesperides sive de malorvm avreorvm cvltvra et vsv libri quatuor' by Giovanni Baptista Ferrari, published in Rome in 1646. See the reference to the illustrations traced by Jean Verbrugge on the previous folio page 42
