Charles Cahier's two-volume reference on the attributes by which saints are identified in popular art, published in Paris in 1867 for antiquarians, clergy, and church artists. Line engravings after medieval tombs, seals, statues, and stained glass show robed figures with croziers, books, and beasts, plus circular seal designs with Gothic lettering; useful for silhouettes, emblem motifs, and inscribed roundels.
