English: From: Ferdinand von Biedenfeld, Ursprung, Aufleben, Größe, Herrschaft, Verfall und jetzige Zustände sämmtlicher Mönchs- und Klosterfrauenorden im Orient und Occident. Nebst den illuminirten Abbildungen von 77 verschiedenen geistlichen Orden und einer chronologisch-synchronistischen Tabelle der Entstehung von 481 Congregationen. Nach Urkunden un Originalquellen von Ferdinand Frhrn. Von Biedenfeld. In 2 Bänden. [Erster Band/ Zweiter Band/ Supplementheft]. Weimar, Bernhard Friedrich Vogt, 1837-1839. This work in 3 volumes (in 8vo., pp. XXX, 322; XX, 413 [= 414], (2); XX, 120, (4)) is the first and only edition of an attractively illustrated history of monastic orders, both in the Orient and the Occident. The hand-colored plates juxtapose the monks and nuns of 77 different orders in their habits. This work is one of the earliest imprints that depict nuns’ clothes in living color. The proliferation of female monastic orders in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries very likely inspired the appearance of this publication, as ever more variegated color schemes and the incorporation of symbols and other accessories emerged to help distinguish the sisters of more recent foundations from earlier ones.
