A 1659 Paris publication of engraved plates illustrating the life, death and miracles of Saint Francis of Paola, founder of the Minim Friars, with French captions beneath each scene. Engravers include Abraham Bosse, François Campion and Michel Lasne, and the set was drawn from the papal bull of Leo X and canonization inquiries. Each page holds four oval vignettes in fine line engraving, showing monks in cowls at altars, bedsides and gatherings, with clean ruled borders a designer could borrow for framed, sequential storytelling.
