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 history of the Benedictine Order written by Louis Bulteau and printed in Paris by Chez J.B. Coignard for a readership of churchmen and scholars interested in monastic history. Its single picture is a woodcut tailpiece of a flowering plant arrangement in a footed urn, with spiky leaves, tulip-like blooms and a rounded vessel decorated with a small rosette, which suggests a designer could borrow its symmetrical, vessel-based botanical motif for ornamental borders or heading decorations.
