Florilegium is the Latin word for bouquet, or more literally flowers (flos, flor-) which are gathered (legere). In Medieval times, the word florilegium was used to refer to a compilation of writings, often religious or philosophical. A florilegium was a book of literary flowers—beautiful words, often centering on a certain theme or topic.
every discipline has a literature—a body of good writing that students and teachers can use as a model; writing is learned mainly by imitation. Therefore I decided to look for the literature myself: to collect brief examples of good, accessible writing in a variety of academic disciplines.
