La vie de S. Bernard premier abbé de Clairvaux et pere de l'Eglise : divisée en six livres, dont les trois premiers sont traduits du Latin de trois celebres abbez de son temps ... et les trois derniers sont tirez de ses ouvrages
A 1649 French devotional biography of Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, written by Antoine Le Maistre and printed in Paris by A. Vitré and the widow of M. Durand for a religious readership. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces and ornaments, with a winged cherub's head between scrolled foliage and urns, plus a vase of flowers flanked by birds on scrolled panels, suggesting classical decorative vocabulary a designer could adapt for borders and tailpieces.
