CODEX - Hugo's Herbarium: 1/1 - Gifts: 1/1 - Curiosities: 2/2
Daisy (Hugo's Herbarium), the flower located inside a small room at the library area where there is a standing lamp near the entrance.
The daisy is a symbol of innocence and purity, and probably owes its fame to the whiteness of its petals. It was used in infusions with calming and digestive properties, known to also promote scar healing. Daisy petals were also used in salads and popular among both nobles and commoners, due to their slight pepper flavor.

Reading stone (Gifts), it's located on the right of black full armor soldier stands (you have Rodric take him down).
After centuries of ignorance, theories about how human vision works now abound. We started by believing that our eyes send out rays revealing objects around us, before finally understanding that, in fact, the opposite is the case. People began to find remedies for vision problems; a good example is the creation of rough eyeglasses that improved their wearers' sight of objects nearby.

Study of a skinned person (Curiosities), it's at the right center side of the long wooden chair where guarded by the soldier who's replies to his fellow soldier "Ad Lucem(To the Fire)" after heard "Ad Ignem(To the Light)".
Since autopsies are formally prohibited by the Church, the practice of studying the human body is still in its infancy. Frightened by the gravity of the situation, Pope Clement VI then issued a papal bull authorizing doctors to open up the bodies of the dead in order to better understand and fight the Plague. Unfortunately, few clergymen followed him, and most anatomical charts therefore came from books from the Orient.

Theriaque (Curiosities), it's located on the table at secret room due south-east if you stands facing the Sanguinis Itinera books.
A decoction made up of more than 50 plant, mineral, and animal ingredients that take more than a year of fermentation for their properties to become complete. Against the Great Evil, it seems to have the effect of accelerating the development of buboes, thus making it possible to remove the infection after incision.

CODEX - Hugo's Herbarium: 1/1 - Gifts: 1/1 - Curiosities: 2/2
Lavender (Hugo's Herbarium), the flower is at the first entrance of Ramparts Town near a big tree to your left.
Lavender is widely known for its perfume, and for its color among weavers. The well-educated also use it in many cataplasms for its purifying values. It was rubbed on viper bites to weaken the venom, or on children's scalps to fight lice. Over time, it has become a symbol of dedication and loyalty.

Chessboard (Gifts), it's located near the entrance of the University where two guards guarded it; one with helmet and the other not (the one who spokes a word: hoity-toity).
A solid-wood chess game. This game became popular in Europe during the Middle Ages, first among nobles, and then spread to all strata of society. The invention of this game is the subject of many legends. Its first version supposedly came into being in Asia between the third and sixth centuries, evolving when it reached the Middle East, and slowly finding its final form when it reached Europe in the tenth century.

Sheepskin (Curiosities), it's at the room where there is a hanged dead man, inside a trunk far north of you.
Before the Plague took on uncontrollable proportions, coachmen and shepherds were often spared, unwittingly protected by the strong smell of the goats, sheep, and horses with which they lived. It was only a temporary respite for some, however, as the lucky survivors could be suspected of serving the Great Evil, and were sometimes punished severely.

Piece of Transis (Curiosities), it's located at broken small catacombs nears a cemetery after you jump down the wall nears a big roller wooden box.
Cadaver tombs are a grotesque version of tomb effigies. The latter are mortuary structures devoid of bodies, adorned with a bas-relief depicting a deceased person in a peaceful position. Cadaver tombs, on the other hand, represent the deceased realistically, gaunt, or decomposing. They can be seen multiplying in urban cemeteries, where the influx of infected bodies contributes to the spread of the Great Evil. However, contaminated corpses are placed in mass graves outside built-up areas, while cadaver tombs rest in holy places.

CODEX - Hugo's Herbarium: 1/1 - Gifts: 1/1 - Curiosities: 2/2
St. John's wort (Hugo's Herbarium), the flower located near the big tree, where De Rune family necklaces (Amicia & Hugo) hanged.
Also called "Saint John's herb", it is a symbol of animosity, but also of protection and light, St. John's wort is considered a remedy to melancholy and other mental afflictions. Despite its nickname, "devil hunter", ingesting it can still significantly disrupt the heart rate, causing arrhythmia and tachycardia.

Alchemical crucible (Gifts), it's located on the left before you go up stairs to shout out loud together with Hugo and speaks to Melie.
An alchemist's most fundamental tool. This stone container is able to withstand extreme conditions (high furnace temperatures, acids) without eroding or breaking. Throughout the alchemical process, it carries the potential of the final Great Work.

Iconography (Curiosities), it's at the right side of the stairs when the first time Hugo asked you to see Lucas at the labs.
Alchemy fascinates scientists as much as it inspires artists. The recurring symbol of the lion devouring the sun us an allusion to alchemical dissolution. The purpose of this process, in which vitriol attacks sulfur, is to separate the "crude" substances from the "subtle" ones.

Bird Language Manual (Curiosities), it's located behind the barrel where Melie standing and having a conversation with Amicia.
Alchemists, whose practices are regarded as occult and dangerous by the majority, go to considerable lengths to encrypt their work. Since Antiquity, they have used this "language of birds"; a code based on metaphors, word games and chirping sounds, as well as mystical symbolism of letters, which reserves the true meaning of their texts to insiders.

A Plague Tale: Innocence - VII - The Path Before Us (PC) Playthrough

 

The Inquisition paid the English garrison a ransom to get to Hugo & Amicia. Luckily, Amicia and the boy managed to escape the camp with the unexpected help of the two young raiders they met earlier: Melie and her brother Arthur. He stayed behind to create a diversion.

CODEX - Hugo's Herbarium: 1/1 - Gifts: 1/1 - Curiosities: 2/2
Hawthorn (Hugo's Herbarium), the flower located at abandoned village after all of you crossing the mill-yard.
A thorny bush used to mark out the borders of gardens and properties, hawthorn has become a symbol of cautious hope. It is the subject of many legends, the most prestigious of which depicts it as Christ's crown of thorns. When ingested as an infusion, it regulates the heartbeat and combats shortness of breath.

Vinegar of the four thieves (Gifts), it's located inside the first house at the upper road, on the table (have Melie to open the door for you).
There is a particularly widespread legend of four thieves who found a way to plunder contaminated houses without being struck by evil themselves. When they were finally stopped, the robbers were promised not to be burned at the stake if they revealed their secret. They agreed, making the details of their mysterious recipe public, and were hanged on the spot. The effectiveness of their recipe remains highly questionable.

Horseshoe (Curiosities), it's inside a house across the mill, hanged on the wooden wall.
As quality of life improves, population size grows faster than food production. Added to the various plagues befalling the crops, this makes famine take on a dramatic dimension, pushing poor and rich to superstition. Despite their new role as good luck charms, horseshoes are still expensive pieces of ironwork that are crucial to farming. Using them to attract luck is a major sacrifice for a farmer.

Map (Curiosities), it's located on the table guarded by an English soldier.
Widespread among noble and learned circles, maps are rare and expensive as well as imprecise. That is why practical and inexpensive directional signs proliferate at road intersections. The villages, sometimes located several days' walk of each other, are ravaged by famine, war, and disease. It is through these same roads that the Plague travels, accompanying the fleeing populations who follow the saying: "leave quickly, go far, and come back late."

A Plague Tale: Innocence - VI - Damaged Goods (PC) Playthrough

CODEX - Gifts: 1/1 - Curiosities: 2/2
Knucklebones (Gifts), it's located on the table east of the tent with the sleeping soldiers and an empty bottle (make sure you delivers Melie to the right tent safely before take this item).
These small sheep's bones are a favorite in games for both children and adults, whether among nobles of commoners. Adults enjoy them in games of chance and gambling once they have been polished and engraved, thus acting as dice. Easily transportable, they can be found in ecclesiastical circles, where they are associated with the Devil.

Pound Sterling (Curiosities), it's east side of the outside tent after Melie open the wooden trunk for you for the first time.
The pound sterling is the oldest currency still in circulation and was already widespread at the end of the eleventh century, when it alone accounted for 15 tons of metal. Passing from hand to hand, crossing the borders and strata of society, money was also a powerful vector of contamination. Just like mail, people only thought to decontaminate it decades later.

Declaration of War (Curiosities), it's located at the outside tent after you cross the tail horses.
The Casus Belli serves as the official justification for a conflict between sovereigns, although its legitimacy is often questionable. Some serve primarily economic interests. The Hundred Years' War thus enabled the French King Philippe VI to tax his people in order to fill the kingdom's coffers, and King Edward III to satisfy the English nobility, whose land revenues had fallen severely.
