His 'History of Religious and Military Monastic Orders and Secular Congregations', the fruit of twenty-five years of work, was published between 1714 and 1719. The parts published after Hélyot's death were with the assistance of Maximilien Bullot. This lithograph is a visualization of part of this work.
