| Title-page of a Life of Bernard: 'La vie de monseigneur sainct bernard deuot chappelain de la vierge marie et premier abbe de clereuaulx translatee de latin en francois et mise en sept liures Distinctz par ung ancien religieux dudit clereuaulx. Nouuellement imprimee a paris'. Attributed to Guillaume Flameng and printed in Paris for Francois Regnault who is known to have traded in the rue Saint-Jacques from 1506 until his death in 1516 or 1520 and whose books were rarely dated. The woodcut has Bernard, carrying a crozier and with his hood partially over his head, kneeling before the Virgin and naked Child in a vaulted room. The Virgin bares her breast and sends a jet of milk to Bernard's mouth. A banderole reads 'monstra te esse matrem'.
