Origin Location:
Belgium?
Description:
Spine and upper board of an iconography of the Roman Catholic Church presenting the traditional garbs of eight ecclesiastic posts and thirty-three monastic orders (ten with both female and male members).
Provenance:
Based on evidence in the text, the iconography includes a monk from Tongerlo Abby near Antwerp, another from Ansewyck near Mechelen, which suggests Belgium as the place of composition. An earlier owner, Cornelia Alstede of Amsterdam, signed her name and address (in Dutch) on the verso of the front free flyleaf and indexed the whole (in French) on the recto and verso of the first leaf. A later owner identified a handful of the images in blue ink on the black versos. Purchased by Western Michigan University Special Collections from Bruce McKittrick Rare Books, Inc.
