Monasticon anglicanum is a 1655 London monastic history by antiquary William Dugdale, compiling Benedictine, Cluniac, Cistercian and Carthusian houses for scholars of English religious history. Its plates are black-and-white engravings of abbey and cathedral facades and elevations, many sideways on the page, showing Gothic towers, pointed windows, heraldic cartouches and ruled architectural detail a designer could adapt for ecclesiastical or antique-style graphics.
