Description:
This iconography of the Roman Catholic Church presents the traditional garbs of eight ecclesiastic posts and thirty-three monastic orders (ten with both female and male members). They include Benedictines, Capuchins, Jesuits, Victorines, and a few distinctly Belgian--a monk from Tongerlo Abby near Antwerp, another from Ansewyck near Mechelen. An earlier owner, Cornelia Alstede of Amsterdam, indexed the whole codex (in French) on the recto and verso of the first leaf. She also composed prayers in Dutch on five of the blank versos, facing the male and female Augustinians, the male and female Carmelites, and a Mallade nun.
