A florilegium is a notebook, or journal, or collection of verses that you want to remember. A notebook of "bon mots," so to speak.
I have done this all my life. Whenever, I have encountered something beautifully written, or something I wish I had said, or just something I want to remember, I've written it down. A florilegium is for spiritual texts that you want to meditate more on. Whereas my notebooks have everything from "come backs" to spiritual thoughts.
Every once in a while, I enjoy reading through them. These are written mindfully and represent an act of enjoyment, appreciation, if not homage, to the text. What can I say, I enjoy written expression.
