Abregé de l'histoire de l'Ordre de S. Benoist, où, il est parlé des saints, des hommes illustres, de la fondation, & des principaux évenemens des monasteres : le tout tiré des actes des saints, des chroniques, & des chartes des monasteres, & d'autres anciens monumens & accompagné d'une table chronologique
A 1684 Paris history of the Benedictine Order by Louis Bulteau, compiled from saints' acts, chronicles and monastic charters for a religious readership. Its pictures are repeated woodcut headpieces: a seated robed figure with a cross and book flanked by scrolling foliate ornament and confronting dragon-like scrolls within a beaded border, a dense symmetrical design a designer could adapt for decorative frames or panels.
