De la sainteté et des devoirs de la vie monastique
A 1683 French devotional treatise on the holiness and duties of monastic life, by Armand Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé, printed in Paris by François Muguet for a religious readership. Its pictures are small woodcut floral ornaments, including a tulip and bloom urn, a symmetrical flower arrangement, and scrolling acanthus-like foliage, useful to a designer seeking compact baroque botanical borders and tailpieces.
