Monasticon Gallicanum

Late 17th-century engraving of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a typical plate from the Monasticon Gallicanum

The Monasticon Gallicanum is a collection of 168 engravings of topographical views, with two maps, representing 147 French monasteries belonging to the reformist Benedictine Congregation of St. Maur. Commissioned by Dom Michel Germain [fr], the engravings were prepared between 1675 and 1694, but not published in full until 1870.
