Monasticon Anglicanum is a 1655 London monastic history by William Dugdale, printed by Richard Hodgkinson and aimed at antiquaries and churchmen studying English religious houses. Its plates are engraved elevations of cathedrals and abbeys, drawn in exact architectural detail with coats of arms and Latin captions in cartouches, which a designer could use for heraldic framing, Gothic facade studies, or antique topographical styling.
