Sommaire des principaux fondateurs et reformateurs des ordres religieux : auec leurs pourtraicts, ensemble leurs institution et confirmation, le tout dispose selon l'ordre des tempts
A 1635 Paris devotional book by Louis Beurrier, with engravings by Michel van Lochom and the Bolswert brothers, compiled for Catholic readers and religious communities as a survey of founders and reformers of monastic orders with their portraits. Its engraved saints are framed in plain borders with Latin captions, showing halos, palms, monastic habits, and symbolic attributes like serpents and books that a designer could adapt for iconographic motifs or framed period prints.
