De la sainteté et des devoirs de la vie monastique
A devotional treatise on monastic holiness and duties by Armand Jean le Bouthillier de Rancé, printed in Paris by François Muguet in 1683 for religious readers. Its four pictures are woodcut flower arrangements: vases and baskets of tulips, lilies, roses and daisies, with bold black outlines and dense leaf patterns a designer could borrow for botanical or floral borders.
