Les constitutions du monastere de Port Royal du Saint Sacrement
This 1665 French book, the constitutions of the Port-Royal du Saint Sacrement convent, was printed at Mons by G. Migeot for the Cistercian nuns of that community and is held in the University of Toronto's rare book collection. Its two small pictures are a celestial armillary sphere with a diagonal band and a dense symmetrical ornament of scrolls, leaves and pendant loops, both crisp black woodcut-like marks on paper that a designer could borrow for cartographic or decorative vignettes.
