PREFATORY NOTE. 
 
 The compiler of the present monograph desires to express his 
 obligations for much help rendered him at home and abroad. 
 He Is Indebted In the first place to the Paris librarians, notably 
 those of the BIbllotheque Nationale, where Monsieur Leopold 
 Dellsle most kindly communicated his notes on the incunabula at 
 Chantllly, and the Arsenal, where Monsieur G. Duval, a friendly 
 rival in the same field of research, furnished notes and made 
 extracts and photographs with reckless generosity. The writer 
 has received constant aid from Mademoiselle Pellechet, Monsieur 
 Claudln, and Monsieur Jean Masson of Amiens, and from Dr. 
 Goldlln von Tiefenau of the Imperial Library of Vienna. His 
 thanks are further due to Mr. Jenkinson, the Librarian of Cam- 
 bridge University, to Mr. R. Proctor, whose work on the British 
 Museum incunabula has been largely utilized, and to the long- 
 suffering Secretary of this Society.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Biographical Details. 
 
 HE parentage of Verard and his career before 
 the appearance of his first book in 1485 is en- 
 tirely unknown. An attempt has been made 
 to conned him with one Jean-Pierre de Verade, 
 to whom a " permission de tester " was granted 
 by Charles VIII. in 1497,' ^^^ there are in- 
 superable difficulties of date.^ There are indi- 
 cations conneding Verard with Touraine, for he published two 
 books having relation to the province, a Coutwnier, and the Chateau 
 de Virginite of Georges de Esclavonie, a native of Tours. More- 
 over, according to a document published by Dr. E. Giraudet,^ he 
 bought in 1505 a house in that town, and, as we learn from 
 another document published by M. Ch. Grandmaison,* he had an 
 agency at Tours for the sale of his books. 
 
 The colophons of his books afford but little information as to his 
 subsequent existence, except that in 1506 he enjoys the title of 
 
 ' Archives Historiques^ torn, i., 1889.

" Libraire jure de TUniversite." ^ In January, 1 507[o8],^ he obtains 
 a " privilege " for three years from the king, forbidding any other 
 printer or bookseller to print his books, under pain of confiscation. 
 All Verard's books that have the privilege in the colophon are also 
 dated, for legal purposes no doubt, so that any book without a privi- 
 lege may be supposed to have been issued before January, 1507 [08]. 
 The only exception to this is the Orose of 1509, but this is merely a 
 reprint of an earlier edition of Verard's, and perhaps for this reason 
 did not require or could not be admitted to privilege. This grant 
 of *' privilege " would appear to have been unexpectedly received, 
 since the Nef de Sante of 1508, issued in two forms (Nos. 85, 
 177), one with date and privilege, the other with neither. 
 
 The death of Verard cannot be fixed with any certainty. The last 
 dated book printed for him (vol. 5 of the Grandes Postilles^ No. 99) 
 appeared in August, 15 12, and he was no longer alive in 15 14, 
 since in that year the privilege of an edition of the Chroniques de 
 Saint Denis, printed by Guillaume Eustace, applies to him the 
 Q^ixhtt feu. The date of his death has however been placed by 
 some as far back as the beginning of 15 12. This theory is based 
 on the existence of several books (j-f^ Nos. 9, 108, 147, 163) bearing 
 the following MS. note : " Anthoine Verard libraire de Paris a donne 
 ce pht liure le xx^ de mars V^ & onze au monaster e de clervaulx. priez 
 dieu po'' luy ". If these books were a bequest, the question is settled, 
 but they may merely have been a present in Verard's lifetime — 
 the concluding formula proves nothing to the contrary. We know 
 from Lacroix du Maine ' that there was a Claude Verard at Cler- 
 vaulx, and it was on his account no doubt that the bequest or gift 
 was made. But it must be admitted, in favour of those who hold 
 the theory of bequest, that the appearance of Verard's name in a 
 colophon of August, 1 5 1 2, proves very little, as will become evident 
 when we have to deal with the publications of his successors.

Site of Verard's Establishment. 
 
 The colophons of Verard's books, though often bearing no 
 date, afford nevertheless a clue to a chronological classification, 
 on account of the variations of the address, which is nearly always 
 given. Thus up to October, 1499, he occupied an establishment 
 on the Pont Notre Dame and a shop in the Sainte Chapelle. 
 The bridge collapsed on October 25th, 1499, whereupon, still 
 keeping his second establishment, Verard changed his first to an 
 address which appears variously as " Pres Petit Pont," " rue 
 Saint Jacques pres Petit Pont," " Carrefour Saint-Severin," " Petit 
 Pont pres du Carrefour Saint-Severin," and " Petit Pont devant 
 la rue Notre Dame." It has been generally supposed that the 
 address " Carrefour S. Severin " represents a separate and earlier 
 establishment, which was only used till September, 1500, but this 
 confli(fl:s with the colophon of a Horce (No. 226), which bears 
 the date August i8th, 1502, and the address "Carrefour Saint- 
 Severin." Verard's next move was in September, 1503, to an 
 address which generally appears under the form " devant la rue 
 Neuve Notre Dame," but is also described as '* devant la grande 
 eglise Notre Dame," " Pres I'ostel Dieu devant la rue Neuve Notre 
 Dame," and *' Devant Notre Dame." The Froissart of 1518 [No. 
 282], published by Verard's successors, gives the alternative forms 
 " devant la rue Neuve Notre Dame " and " rue de la Juiverie." 
 
 The colophon of one book, the Proprietaire (No. 146), bears a 
 curious evidence of this change of address, as a blank space is left 
 between the words " demourant a Paris " and " Au palais au premier 
 pillier, etc^ Again, in a vellum copy of the Tresor de Pdme 
 (No. 129), the word sur in the expression sur le pont of the colo- 
 phon has been erased, and tout deuant written in. 
 
 Publications. — Vellum Copies. 
 
 The nature and extent of Verard's publications may be gathered 
 from the bibliographical list in the present volume. They are all 
 in the vernacular except some of the Hora and one of his latest 
 
 xi 
 
dated books, the Liber auBoritatum (No. 102). The latter is also 
 the only one printed with type of the kind then generally used for 
 Latin books. His publications may be roughly divided into (i) 
 Books of devotion ; (2) Books of chivalry; (3) Poems and light 
 literature, chiefly amatory ; (4) Quasi-scientific books ; (5) Trans- 
 lations of the Classics. There is nothing in Latin or Greek— the 
 Renaissance had hardly reached France in Verard's time. The 
 typography and illustrations of Verard's books, though justly cele- 
 brated, are distindlly inferior to the best produftions of certain 
 Parisian printers, for instance Jean Dupre, but in one respect he is 
 without a rival — in the sumptuous illuminated copies on vellum, 
 produced for his royal and other distinguished patrons. The 
 Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris contains an astonishing number 
 of these magnificent books, done for Charles VIIL, Louis XL, 
 and Anne of Brittany. Charles VIIL's copy of the Chroniques de 
 France contains, according to Van Praet, no less than 951 minia- 
 tures. At the British Museum also are numerous volumes only 
 less magnificent, colleded by Henry VIL, whose name is some- 
 times substituted in MS. for that of Charles VIIL in dedication 
 or prologue {^see No. 37). 
 
 The costliness of this elaborate ornamentation appears from a 
 bill sent in by Verard to his patron, the Comte d'Angouleme, 
 which will be found in the Appendix to the present work.^ 
 This document is of particular interest, because the Bibliotheque 
 Nationale, where it rests, also contains an inventory of the efFedls 
 of Verard's patron, the Comte d'Angouleme, made at Cognac on 
 November 20th and 21st, 1496, after his death on January ist in 
 that year, as well as the books themselves, which, being inherited 
 by Francis L, passed into the Bibliotheque du Roi, and so into the 
 Bibliotheque Nationale. The two documents and the books, 
 therefore, throw considerable light on the details of Verard's bill. 
 For most of the following details we are indebted to an article by 
 M. Auguste Bernard in the Bulletin du Bibliophile for October, i860. 
 
 The copies on vellum often had portions of letterpress reprinted, or other varia- 
 tions, ^^c- Nos. 109, 116,223. 
 
 xii 
 
We shall discover that various errors occur in the account ; but 
 as the total is the same as that arrived at from the corrected 
 figures, it may be supposed that the bill has survived only in an 
 incorred: transcript. Notes on the five books mentioned are here 
 appended. 
 
 Tristan. — The first volume only of this survives in the Biblio- 
 theque Nationale (No. 130 in the List at end). It is undated, but 
 from its occurrence in the inventory, must have been printed 
 before 1496. The description there given of it, as bound in 
 " veloux tanne,'' is now^ no longer accurate. Verard appears to 
 cheat himself with regard to this volume, which has ninety-one, 
 not eighty-one leaves (IIIP'^XI not IIII^^I), but errs in the 
 opposite direction in charging for eighty-five instead of eighty-one 
 small illustrations. 
 
 Le Grant Boece de Consolacion (No. t^j in the List). — This volume 
 is in the Bibliotheque Nationale, though despoiled of its veloux 
 tanney and of a blank leaf which, of course, Verard has charged 
 for. 
 
 U Ordinaire des Crestiens (No. 39 in the List). — This volume 
 is in the Bibliotheque, lacking its cover of veloux tanne and its 
 fermoers (clasps). In the same library is another vellum copy of 
 this book, illuminated for Charles VIII., though on a more modest 
 scale. 
 
 VOrloge de Devocion. — Dealing with this book as with the pre- 
 ceding, we are soon brought to a stop. The inventory men- 
 tions no such book, but does mention an Orloge de Sapience. 
 Moreover, Verard, so far as is known, never published an edition 
 of the former work, though he did of the second. The Biblio- 
 theque Nationale, again, possesses three copies on vellum of an 
 edition of the Orloge de Sapience published by Verard in 1493, 
 a date which would admit of the book being supplied to the 
 Comte d'Angouleme. So far, it would appear that Verard or his 
 clerk has made a mistake. The details, however, point to a 
 different conclusion. The work mentioned in the bill appears to 
 consist of twenty-two leaves of parchment at twenty deniers a 
 
 xiii 
 
sheet, whereas the Orloge de Sapience is made up of twenty sheets of 
 the same size as the Boece and the Ordinaire des CrestienSy costing 
 therefore two sous six deniers a sheet. 
 
 Again, it is quite possible that the Orloge de Sapience of the 
 inventory is not in the bill at all, not falling within the period 
 cov^ered by it. The fadl of the Orloge de Devocion being in the 
 bill and not in the inventory may be explained on the supposition 
 that it was kept by the count's widow, Louise of Savoy, for her 
 personal use. 
 
 Another hypothesis — probably the right one — is that the book 
 in the bill is corredly called the Orloge de Devocion, but that in 
 this instance Verard used a volume from a rival establishment. 
 Now there does exist an edition of the Orloge de Devocion nearly 
 corresponding to Verard's description. Its title runs : L'Oreloge de 
 Devocion, compose en franpys par messire Jehan ^entin, and it was 
 printed at Paris for M. E. Jehannot. The copy of this book at 
 the Bibliotheque Nationale actually contains the required number 
 (twenty-five) of miniatures ; but the number of leaves (ninety- 
 four) presents a difficulty, for the twenty-two " feuilles " (quarto 
 sheets) in the bill would only make eighty-eight leaves (feuillets). 
 Heures en fran^oys. — There is at the Bibliotheque Nationale an 
 undated Verard Hone (No. 223) containing the necessary 108 
 leaves (= twenty-seven sheets), which may well have been pub- 
 lished before 1496, and is possibly the book alluded to. The 
 miniatures in this copy do not correspond to the description in the 
 bill, but it was not a priori probable that the Comte d'Angouleme's 
 Horn would be with the other books in the library, since they 
 would probably be retained for the use of his widow. 
 
 Among Verard's royal patrons was a foreign king — Henry VII. 
 of England — for whom a large number of vellum copies were 
 illuminated, many of which are still to be seen in the British 
 Museum. It was hoped that a search through the Household and 
 Wardrobe accounts of this monarch preserved at the Record Office 
 might affiDrd some interesting details. One entry only relating to 
 Verard can be found, namely, in the Account Books of John Heron, 
 
 xiv 
 
Treasurer of the Chamber, under date 1 8th June, 17th Hen. VII. 
 (1501-2): 
 
 " Item to Anthony Verard for two bokes called 
 the gardyn of helth .... £6.'' 
 
 This refers, of course, to the Ortus Sanitatis (No. 140), and the 
 identical copy (in two parts) is still in the British Museum. It is 
 not printed on vellum. 
 
 It is somewhat surprising that special vellum copies illuminated for 
 Henry VII. should have passed out of his possession and be found in 
 this century in the Bibliotheque Nationale [Homelies de S. Gregoire^ 
 No. 66) or Osterley Park Library (Bible des Poetes^ No. 31). 
 
 Various books, formerly in the library of Henry VIII., published 
 by Verard, were doubtless supplied by him to that monarch. 
 
 Printer or Publisher .? 
 
 In the foregoing remarks we have taken for granted that Verard 
 was a publisher, but the view has been strenuously supported, and 
 cannot be so summarily put aside, that he was a printer also. The 
 doubt has arisen from the wording of the colophons, which might 
 have been expected to decide the question. 
 
 Of the 253 works or editions hereinafter described, only twenty- 
 eight profess themselves printed *"■ par Antoine Verard''' No distin- 
 guishing feature is apparent in these, so that their phrasing cannot be 
 due to the whim of a particular printer. The Miroir Historial of 
 1495-6 (No. 42) exhibits both forms, in vol. i ^'' imprime pour'' 2ind 
 in vol. 5 " imprime par^' while the intervening volumes are merely 
 stated to be '''' imprime a Paris." The colophon of the Martilloge 
 des fan Ices langues (No. 1 18) seems to point clearly to Verard's part 
 in the production of a book. The MS. being sent to him, he looks 
 it over, shows it to various men of learning, by whom it is corre<fted, 
 and determines to get it printed {faire imprimer). 
 
 On the other hand, in the introduction to the Temple d'honneur 
 (No. 189), which contains no colophon, it is stated with equal 
 clearness that the MS. was " sent to Antoine Verard, a bookseller 
 
 XV 
 
\n Paris, who thought well to put it on his printers' formes (?) 
 ^scs formes impressoircs) and to publish it abroad." 
 
 The Horce exhibit almost without exception the form pour^ but 
 one has p (No. 197), and in a copy of another (No. 206) the last 
 three letters oi pour have been deleted. Another (No. 240) claims 
 to have been '' acheue par Anthoine Verad^' but this expression may 
 pass, since the illumination may well have been done in Verard's 
 establishment. The testimony of the colophons is evidently quite 
 inconclusive. 
 
 The view of the present writer has at least one merit, that no 
 one can entirely disagree with it. It is that Verard employed 
 various printers to print certain of his books, but that the bulk of 
 them were produced in an establishment of his own. This view 
 is chiefly deduced from the elaborate analysis by Mr. R. Proftor 
 of the French incunabula in the British Museum and the Bodleian,^ 
 and it has been fortified by an examination of other Verard books 
 at Oxford, Cambridge, and Paris, and Amiens. Mr. Pro6lor has 
 been able to show that the great majority of types used by Verard 
 are peculiar to him ; the inference being, so far, either that he had 
 his own printing establishment, or had various printers to work for 
 him who were not allowed to use for ordinary work the types em- 
 ployed on Verard's orders. This second alternative is, however, 
 ruled out by the remarkable way in which the types are combined 
 with one another, making it certain that they were all in use in the 
 same establishment. Thus, in the Merlin of 1498 (No. 54) there 
 are alternate sedfions in types 3* and 7, in the Ogier (No. 121) 
 alternate leaves in types 2* and 1 1<^, in the Roman de la Rose alter- 
 nate leaves in types 2, 1 1* and 13, and in the latter the types have 
 evidently got somewhat mixed. In other books, which it would 
 be tedious to enumerate, somewhat less intimate combinations may 
 be found through use of large types for title-pages, margins, head- 
 ings, indexes, etc., so that no type is isolated. The types not 
 peculiar to Verard may be identified as belonging to various printers. 
 
 The numbers used by Mr. Prodor to denote the types have been adopted in the 
 present work. 
 
 xvi 
 
whose names appear in conjundllon with them in at least one 
 book. These arguments would no doubt be strengthened if 
 analysis could be made of all "Verard" books which neither the 
 British Museum nor the Bodleian possess. A considerable number 
 have been inspefled by the present writer, who undertakes to say 
 that the greater portion of them may be ranged under a few 
 familiar types believed to be peculiar to Verard, while he has 
 seldom ventured to assign an origin to the others. 
 
 Verard as Author. 
 
 This rubric may wear a doubtful aspe6l, but there are certain 
 compositions in verse which appear to justify it. To several 
 vellum copies, intended for royal use, Verard has prefixed dedica- 
 tions in verse, presumably of his own composition, unless, indeed, 
 he got them done by a hack and suppressed his name. Thus, the 
 Lancelot at the Bibliotheque Nationale (Vel. 614) has a long 
 dedication, of which the following may serve as a sample : 
 
 Couraige hault noble cheualereux 
 Honte craignant desirant estre eureux 
 Armes requiert po"" entrer aux assaulx 
 Raison pour quoy le cheualier paoureux 
 Lequel nest point hard! aduentureux 
 En faiz darmes na iamais bons vassaulx 
 Souuerain roy haultain chief des royaulx 
 De nobles meurs vostre couraige emplez 
 Et les beaulx faiz des nobles contemplez 
 Vous les verrez en ce liure chier sire 
 Au plain escripz sil vous plaist a y lyre 
 La trouuerez faiz de cheualerie 
 Les grans assaulx de la gendarmerie 
 Ou les lasches sont demeurez au bac 
 Icy tous bruitz verrez de seigneurie 
 Signantement de Lancelot du lac, etc. 
 
 A more ambitious composition is one addressed to Anne of 
 Brittany, over three hundred lines long, and adorned with twelve 
 miniatures (Bib. Nat. MS. Fr. 1686). The first page here follows: 
 
 xvii c

 Illustrations. 
 
 The illustrations in Verard's books, when closely examined, 
 hardly bear out their reputation. Sets of blocks appear to have 
 been expressly cut to adorn some thirty editions, and of these a 
 few never appear again, while the others are used time after time. 
 The extent of this repeated use may be judged from the table of 
 cuts in the Appendix, in which forty-five blocks, selefted either 
 from their frequent occurrence or as types of artistic style, have 
 been traced systematically in their progress through Verard's pub- 
 lications. Reproductions of most of them have also been given. It 
 was hoped that a comparison of the successive states would give clues 
 to the chronology of the undated books, but the Verards in the 
 British Museum are not sufficiently numerous, and the present writer 
 
 xviii 
 
has not had leisure to apply this method in the libraries of Paris. 
 The greatest care would however be necessary in applying this 
 test, as there appears to have been a praftice of mending cracks in 
 wood-blocks, especially in the outer edges. Besides being repeatedly 
 used in book after book, it not uncommonly happens that the same 
 cut is used again and again in the same book. An extreme instance 
 of this pra<flice is the Merlin of 1498 (No. 54), of which the chief 
 adornment is a cut (No. 3) repeated no less than twenty times. A 
 picture of a battle, it may be argued, is never out of place in a 
 romance of chivalry. Some such far-fetched plea is nearly always 
 necessary to justify the presence of a cut in any but the work it 
 was designed for. For instance, in the 'Josephus of 1492 (No. 21) 
 the spoliation of a country is represented by the burial of a 
 woman, the death of Samson by a picture of the Temple, and the 
 Sacrifice of Isaac helps the reader to conceive the execution of a 
 malefadtor, while a mention of the sea brings out a cut of Noah's 
 Ark. 
 
 Verard's first two books, the Decameron and the Ditz moraux des 
 philosophes contained only one cut apiece, which are not elsewhere 
 seen in his publications, but from that time onwards we find cuts 
 that became a permanent portion of our publisher's stock. Thus 
 the Livre des proufitz champestres of i486 is adorned with a charm- 
 ing set of small cuts, one of which (No. 21), representing the 
 common theme, an Author at his desk, was very frequently em- 
 ployed, and was handed down to Verard's successors. In the Cerit 
 Nouvelles nouvelles of the same year is a set of small cuts {e.g.y No. i) 
 which are afterwards continually employed for books of the like 
 frivolous tendency. The Vegece of 1488 furnishes a notable set of 
 oblong cuts of a martial or courtly nature, of which Nos. 2-4, 4a, 
 are specimens. 
 
 The Chevalier Delibere of 1488 is only known to exist in the 
 copy at the Hofbibliothek at Vienna, but from descriptions and 
 photographs kindly furnished by Dr. Goldlin von Tiefenau it is 
 clear that this is the source of a set of cuts frequently occurring in 
 Verard's books and originally designed for this poem. From the 
 
 xix 
 
same source we learn that the Legende doree of i49o[9i], of which 
 also the only known copy is at Vienna, is copiously illustrated. 
 This may be the source of many cuts of a religious nature found in 
 Verard's books. The illustrations of his books of chivalry cannot 
 be traced back farther than the Orose of 1491 and the Josephus of 
 1492 (Nos. 16, 21). Many of the cuts in the latter appear to have 
 been designed for a Bible, but this edition remains to be discovered. 
 In the same year appeared the Art de Bien Mourir^ the cuts of 
 which are frequently used in later books. The Bible des Poetes of 
 i493[94] supplies a number of full-page cuts closely adapted to the 
 text of Ovid's Metamorphoses^ of which the book is a translation, 
 and afterwards used for far different purposes. From the Lancelot of 
 the same year come a few full-page cuts afterwards commonly used 
 in books of chivalry. The Epistres SainSl Pol of i507[o8] is 
 adorned by a number of full-page cuts {e.g.^ No. xliii.) from the 
 Cite de Dieu printed at Abbeville in i486. These however are found 
 in several undated books that have no privilege in the colophon, and 
 were probably therefore issued before January, 1 507[o8]. Also, just 
 before this date we find in Verard's books a number of cuts of a most 
 peculiar heavy style, of which No. 45 is an example. The Pastilles 
 of 151 1-12 contain a large number of new cuts, but they mark the 
 end of Verard's career. By a fortunate chance all the sets of cuts 
 above-mentioned make their first appearance {i.e., most nearly fit 
 the text they adorn) in dated books. One undated book adds 
 considerably to Verard's stock, namely, the Terence (No. 152), 
 which must have been issued between 1500 and 1503. The cuts 
 in this are produced by numerous small blocks of persons and 
 scenes, capable of infinite arrangements, with or without alteration 
 in the legends. Of this set Nos. xxxix.-xl., respectively, are repro- 
 duced as specimens. Cut No. 40 is one of a set very commonly 
 used, first appearing in the Regnards trauersans (No. 149), which 
 dates it between 1500 and 1503. 
 
 There are a certain number of sets of illustrations that only 
 appear in one or more editions of a single book, either because 
 their themes did not adapt them for frequent use, or because they 
 
 XX 
 
were never in Verard's possession. This latter explanation may 
 be adopted in cases where they are accompanied by types not else- 
 where used by Verard. Thus in the Doolin (No. 65) is a set 
 illustrating martial scenes ; in the Grandes Postilles (No. 99), and 
 in the Pelerinage de Ihomme (No. 10 1) a religious set. In the 
 Pelerin de vie humaine is a most remarkable set, of rude draughts- 
 manship, of which No. xxxiv. is a specimen. The Ortus Sanitatis 
 (No. 140) is copiously illustrated with small grotesque cuts illus- 
 trating natural objects ; another quasi-scientific work, the Pro- 
 prietaire (No. 146), has a set in the same heavy style and by the 
 same hand, apparently, as No. 45. In this style also is a set, not 
 elsewhere used, in the Valere le Grant (No. 153). The Cceur de 
 philosophie (No. 1 59), also of a scientific nature, has a set of diagrams 
 illustrating astrology and chiromancy, for which no further use 
 appears to be found. The full-page cuts in the Figures du vieil 
 'Testament et du nouvel (No. 163), imitated from the Biblia 
 Pauperum, are not to be found in any other book of Verard's. 
 
 Sources. — As to the sources whence Verard's illustrations were 
 obtained, very little is known. Two books at least ^ were drawn 
 upon, the Cite de Dieu, printed by Jean Dupre at Abbeville in 
 i486, and the Mer des Hystoires, printed by Guillaume Lerouge 
 for Vincent Commin in 1488. The fa6l that Verard used the cuts 
 from the latter work has been used by M. Monceaux- as a chief 
 support of his argument that Lerouge and his brother printed all 
 Verard's books, at least those not avowedly the work of another 
 printer. This argument from the occurrence of cuts is most 
 unsafe, for M. Monceaux's conclusions are impossible to reconcile 
 with the fad:s we shall adduce. Thus cuts from the Mer des 
 Hystoires occur in an edition of the Arbre des Batailles and in 
 Les Vigilles de la mort du feu roy Charles septiesme^ both printed 
 at Paris in 1493, and both avowedly by Jean Dupre. This 
 same printer published a Vie des Peres in i486, which has on its 
 
 ^ The Art of Good Living of 1503 (No. 67) contains a cut from a Sarum Missal 
 printed at Rouen in 1492. 
 
 ' Les Lerouge de Chablisy Paris, 1896, 8vo, 
 
 xxi 
 
title a cut also to be found on the last leaf of the Postilles pub- 
 lished at Troyes in 1492. Yet the appearance of this cut in a 
 book of Verard's is proof enough that Lerouge printed it, if we are 
 to believe M. Monceaux. A fine capital I, exhibiting Christ with 
 upraised finger, appearing in vol. 2 of the Mer des Hystoires^ is to 
 be found in an edition of the same work printed at Lyons in 1491, 
 which Lerouge, presumably, had nothing to do with. This 
 exchange of cuts among printers and publishers is further illus- 
 trated by a book printed for Jean Petit, the Genealogie . . . 
 Godefroy de Bouillon (Paris, 1504, 4°), which contains a varied 
 assortment of Verard's cuts, e.g., Nos. 38, 4 (and others from the 
 Ccesar of i488[?]), 44. 
 
 The sources whence Verard took cuts for imitation were doubt- 
 less many — a few can be perceived. Thus the title-page of the 
 Destru5lion de Troie la Grant is imitated from that of the Lyons 
 edition printed by Husz in 1485; the Kalendar of Shyppars 
 (No. 68) contains numerous cuts imitated from the German, and 
 one at least imitated from a cut used by the Lerouges at Troyes ; the 
 Exposicions des epitres et evangiles (No. 100) contains a set imitated 
 from Knoblouch's editions of the Passionis Christi unum ex quatuor 
 Euangeliis textum printed at Strasburg about 1508. 
 
 Before leaving the subjed: of the illustrations one or two of 
 Verard's contrivances may be mentioned. When blocks became 
 worn out, or when perhaps it was merely desired to produce a 
 cheap book, the blocks were shortened. This may be seen in 
 Verard's latest edition of the Bible des Poetes (No. 155), published 
 about 1507, in which all the folio cuts have been thus treated, 
 and in the 1509 edition of Senecqiie des motz dorez (No. 188), 
 where the well-known frontispiece-cut (No. 10) appears in 
 abbreviated shape. 
 
 In using cuts for books that they were not meant to illustrate, 
 it became necessary for Verard to remove the existing legend. 
 Thus the blocks of the Chevalier Delibere appearing in later books 
 bear evident traces of mutilation, and sometimes from the appear- 
 ance of the border (as in No. 29) it is evident that a piece has 
 
 xxii 
 
been Inserted. Another pradice of Verard's was to insert small 
 blocks in borders that did not belong to them {see Nos. 91, 179, 
 180, 147). This last is a remarkable instance, as each border 
 encloses two cuts, a small one from the Hora, together with one 
 of two representations of S. Jerome, producing a most bizarre 
 effect {see cut No. xxxviii.). 
 
 Fate after Verard's Death. — To trace the subsequent history of 
 the cuts used in Verard's books is a matter of no great interest, 
 perhaps, but a few fadts are here recorded. Cut No. 36 is found in 
 a late but undated Mirouer de la redempcion humaine} A Lancelot"^ 
 published by Jean Petit in 1530P] contains cut No. 26. The quasi- 
 device of Verard (plate No. Ixxviii.) is on the title-page of La 
 translacion de la bulk de la croysade, etc., 1516.^ Two cuts from 
 Verard's Terefice are in Le Livre du faulcon des dames [1525].'* 
 The cuts of the Art de bten Mourir afterwards went over to Eng- 
 land, and some of these are found as late as 1568 in T^he Booke of 
 Nurture (T. East : London, 4°), having thus a career of at least 
 seventy-five years. 
 
 Initials. 
 
 The initials used by Verard, especially on the title-pages of his 
 book, have always been much remarked, so much so that the 
 appearance of a remarkable L on a title-page of a Paris book has 
 often been enough to secure its ascription to Verard, if no other 
 printer's or publisher's name were there. A series comprising 
 nearly all of Verard's L's is given in the Appendix, and the 
 appearance of each has been noted in the bibliographical descrip- 
 tions. Their appearance does not as a rule afford any clue to the 
 chronology of the undated books, as their use extended over too 
 long a period. L No. 4, for instance, first appears in the title-page 
 of the Bible des Poetes of 149 3 [4], and must have been worn out 
 in April, 1509, when we find it, recut, in the Eneide.

 * Ibid. (No. 571). 
 
 xxiii 
 
L No. 8 first appears in a dated book in December, 1505, and is 
 used in five other dated books up to March, i5o6[o7], so that the 
 undated books in which it occurs may fairly be dated about 1506. 
 They could not, as a matter of fadt, be dated earlier than 1503, on 
 account of the address in their colophons, nor after January, 1 508, 
 owing to the absence of a privilege. L No. 10 appears only in 
 one undated book, the Nef de ^^w// of January, i507[o8], which can 
 be dated by other means. 
 
 L No. I, doubtless belonging to Pierre Levet, the printer of the 
 Sydrach^ does not seem to occur elsewhere among Verard books. 
 L No. 2, M. Claudin informs me, was used by Jehannot and 
 Le Dru. L No. 3 is little used, and No. 5 only once, in the 
 Boece. 
 
 L No. 6 is one of two imitations from an original L which may 
 be found in the Livre du Faulcon'^ (Paris, s.l.n.d.). One copy 
 was used by Le Caron in 1489 and afterwards transferred to Verard ; 
 another was used by Guillaume Lerouge at Troyes (in his Danse 
 Macabre of 1491).^ 
 
 L No. 7, again, is an imitation of one to be found: (i) on the 
 title-page of Le grant Testament Villon *l le petit, Paris, n.d. ; ^ (2) 
 on the title-page of Le debat des deux bons Seruiteurs (Paris, s.l.s.d.) ;^ 
 and (3) on the title-page of Loreloge de deuocion ^ printed by Jehannot. 
 The first of these books was, however, M. Claudin believes, printed 
 by Denis Meslier. Of the two imitations of this original, one was 
 used by Guillaume Mignard in his Complainte d'ung Francoys printed 
 at Geneva in 1495,^ the second by Verard. 
 
 The identification of these L's is a matter of considerable diffi- 
 culty, because Verard made imitations of L's that pleased him, and

his occasional printers made imitations, presumably with his per- 
 mission, of L's that he already possessed (see No. 45). Sometimes, 
 too, a familiar initial becomes unrecognizable through a fresh 
 ornament being added to the block. Thus the L on the title-page 
 of the Martilloge des faulces langues (No. 118) is really that of the 
 Comment aires Jules Cesar (No. 259) with a slight addition. The 
 small breaks in the letter render identification certain. 
 
 Verard uses numerous sets of initials in the body of the text of 
 his publications. The appearance of the earliest, a small black set, 
 is a help to chronology. In the Art de Bien Mourir of 1492 spaces 
 are mostly left for the rubrisher to fill in the small initials, yet in 
 certain cases F and C are filled in with printed letters. In the 
 Lancelot of July, 1494, for the first time a set similar to these two 
 is used throughout, whereas in the Boccaccio of the end of the same 
 year they are omitted, as also, in part, in the Ordinaire des Chretiens 
 of 1495. In the following year they are regularly used. So that 
 1494, 1495, or 1496 may be assigned as the date of a book 
 in which the initials are omitted, are partly used, or used 
 throughout. 
 
 The other sets of initials used by Verard only appear when he 
 has left the Pont Notre Dame. They are (i) a set adorned with 
 flowers, alluded to in the present work as the " floral " ; (2) a set 
 composed of flourishes, here called the '* calligraphic " ; (3) a set 
 exhibiting " grotesque " heads, and here so called ; (4) a set with 
 rounded projections, here called " bossed." 
 
 Device. 
 
 Verard followed the custom of his time in using a device, which 
 is often the only indication of his connection with a book. The 
 earlier form is only found in three books, the Cent Nouuelles 
 nouuelles of i486 (No. 4), the Sydrach of 1487 (No. 5), the Vegece 
 of 1488 (No. 6), the first two printed by Levet, the last by 
 Marchand. Subsequently it was appropriated by another of Verard's 
 printers, Pierre Le Caron, who cut out Verard's monogram from 
 
 XXV d 
 
the heart in the centre and his name from the lower edge, and 
 printed his own name in the space thus left blank by the block. 
 Two books are known that bear this modified device, namely, a 
 copy of Les lunettes des Princes in the library of Baron James de 
 Rothschild (a facsimile is given in M. Picot's Catalogue) and a 
 book m the public library of Rouen, of which a photograph has 
 been taken by Mademoiselle Pellechet. A new device, of much 
 better workmanship than the earlier one, first appears in the 
 Politiques daristote of 1489 (No. 9), and continued in use with 
 Verard's successors. The effefts of use appear to show that it was 
 cut on metal. On the title-page of a few books, a monogram com- 
 posed of the letters AV will be found ; and sometimes in vellum 
 copies a painted device is used, exhibiting a heart with mono- 
 gram flanked by birds. 
 
 Trade Practices. 
 
 An attentive study of Verard's publications does not tend to 
 clear his rather doubtful reputation. He had a habit of suppress- 
 ing the names of the printers who worked for him, which becomes 
 rather discreditable when effected by scratching out the colophon, 
 as in the DestruBion de Troie (No. 52), or obscuring it by an illu- 
 minated device, as in the Pais Alain Chartier (No. 109). How- 
 ever, sometimes the colophon is erased in the vellum copies even 
 when the printer's name is not there, as in the Doolin (No. 65) 
 and the Chateau de Virginite (No. 73).^ The whole question of 
 this deletion of colophons is rather obscure. In the case last 
 mentioned there seems to have been a desire to get rid of the date, 
 so as to sell the copy under the guise of a novelty. In certain 
 cases, f.^.,the Ordinaire des Crestiens of 1494 and the Boece of 1494 
 (No. 37), the date only has been erased. The Coutumier de 
 Touraine (No. 86) exhibits an erasure of date in two copies at 
 Paris and Tours ^ respeftively. In the former the word sept has 
 
 * See also Nos. 30, 260. 
 
 ' Note of this copy sent by Mademoiselle Pellechet. 
 
 xxvi 
 
been erased and written in again. The reason of this is not 
 apparent. 
 
 There is one case, that of the Vienna copy on vellum of the 
 youvencel of 1497 (-^^^ ^^' 266), where the date has been made 
 four years later to indicate the termination of the illuminator's task. 
 
 An incorrect date may sometimes be found in the colophons for 
 a quite contrary reason ; in cases where an edition has been exactly 
 reprinted the old date has been retained, e.g.^ the Lancelot (No. 
 166), reprinted after Verard's move to his establishment, " deuant 
 la rue neufue Nostre Dame," has the date of the earlier edition, 
 1494, in the colophon of the first volume. Similarly the Hora of 
 January 14th, 1500, were reprinted at the new address, the original 
 date remaining unaltered [see No. 253). 
 
 It will sometimes be found that a book of quite early date has 
 a portion in a type chiefly used in the fifteenth century.^ This 
 was due, no doubt, to a loss of certain sheets, which might very 
 well have been caused by Verard's frequent removes. 
 
 The treatment accorded by Verard to his authors was un- 
 scrupulous enough, if we may judge from one case of which par- 
 ticulars have been handed down to us. One Jean Bouchet wrote 
 for him a book called Les Regnards trauersans, which Verard on 
 the title-page ascribes to Sebastian Brandt, the author of the 
 Stultifera Navis, while leaving the real author's name hidden in an 
 acrostic at the end. The wretched author, by his own account, 
 was not so much aggrieved at all this as by the liberties taken 
 with his MS., which drove him to prosecute his publisher. The 
 full narrative is found in part 2 of Bouchet's Epistres morales & 
 familieres du trauerseur, Poictiers, 1545 : 
 
 Le premier fut les Regnards trauersans

 Ou feu Verard pour ma simple jeunesse 
 Changea le nom, ce fut a luy finesse,

 Books of Hours. 
 
 Verard's Books of Hours form so considerable a part of his output 
 that they require a paragraph to themselves. 
 
 The claim of Verard to have published the earliest Horce has 
 been generally admitted on the strength of his edition of August, 
 i486, at the Bibliotheque Nationale. Just as the present lines v^ere 
 going to press, news w^as sent by M. Masson, of Amiens, of a yet 
 earlier edition in his possession, dated February 6th, I485[86]. 
 This (No. 195) appears to rank with the two following editions, 
 being adorned with small cuts. Verard's next advance was in 
 No. 198, with cuts of considerably greater dimensions, surrounded 
 by borders. This edition is closely linked, by the resemblance of 
 the borders, with No. 200, and both are printed with the types of 
 Dupre. Intermediate in date between these two come the Petites 
 Heures of February, i489[9o], with the same cuts as before, but 
 new borders of a particularly pleasing nature. These passed before 
 July loth, 1493, i^fo ^^^ possession of Laurens Philippe, since they 
 appear in a Horce of that date printed by him. The next type in 
 the evolution of Verard's Hora is the Grandes Heures^ of which 
 undated editions have been ascribed to the year 1488, on account 
 of the almanack for 1488-1508 that they contain. This evidence 
 is not however conclusive, as the almanacks were commonly re- 
 printed year after year without alteration. As therefore the blocks 
 in the undated editions show greater signs of wear than those of 
 the earliest dated edition (of August, 1490), we must for the present 
 
 xxviii 
 
regard the latter as the earliest.* The Grandes Heures contain the 
 cuts of the Fetites Heures^ with one additional, representing David 
 on horseback, and are adorned with fine wide borders of cuts inter- 
 spersed with text. No two copies of these Heures that have come 
 under our notice are exadly alike, a circumstance probably due in 
 part to the number of dioceses for which special issues were made 
 up, and to the caprices of private persons. 
 
 The later of the Verard Horce^ beginning, as far as is known, with 
 No. 219 (August loth, 1498), contain illustrations imitated from 
 Pigouchet. The origin and sequence of these illustrations, as far as 
 the sixteenth century issues in the British Museum are concerned, 
 are exhibited in a diagram in the Appendix. It will be seen that 
 there are five sets of them (marked for reference a, a*, b, c, and d). 
 Set a is copied from the second set used by Pigouchet ; set a*, 
 closely resembling a, from Pigouchet's third set, which is modelled 
 on his second ; set b is copied from Pigouchet's fourth set, though 
 cuts Nos. 3, 20, 24, are different ; set c comes from his fifth set ; 
 set d is made up of odd cuts, of which No. 3 is found on the title 
 of the Utrecht missal printed in 1497 ^Y Higman and Hopyl, and 
 No. 5 in the Pastilles printed by G. Lerouge at Troyes in 1491. 
 The chronological order oi Horce Nos. 8-1 1 in the chart is fixed 
 by cracks in cut No. 13, and to some extent in Nos. 8, 1 1, 20, 21. 
 Horce Nos. 6 and 7 are partly identical, and evidently closely con- 
 nected in date. The Sarum Horce (No. 2 in chart) has its date fixed 
 by cut No. 3, which is more broken than in 1503, and by cut 
 No. 8, which belongs to set a, and was therefore not used after 
 1505. This Sarum edition has a large number of additional cuts — 
 a set of twenty-two, representing the Saints, six representing the 
 Passion, and a Pentecost and an Image of Pity in the crible style. 
 
 Verard's Successors. 
 
 This much-debated problem the present writer admits himself 
 unable to clear up. The bare fa6ts may be easily presented. There 
 
 ' See The Illustrations in French Books of Hours, i486- 1 500. By A. W. Pollard. 
 Bibliographica^ vol. iii. 
 
 xxix 
 
are six books issued by one or other of these successors. The 
 three dated are a Froissart of 151 8 and a Sejour d'Honneur of 
 1 5 19, with the familiar device of Antoine Verard and his name 
 in the colophon, and a Petrarque of 15 14 with the name of 
 Barthelemy Verard in the colophon and his device.^ Of the un- 
 dated books, there is a Bible, also with the name and device of 
 Barthelemy, a Vita Christi with the name of Barthelemy and the 
 device of Antoine, and a Psalterium with the name of Antoine 
 and the device of Barthelemy. Further, in 1527 a book appears,^ 
 Les Mots dores de Seneque, printed in April, 1527 [1528], "for 
 Germaine Guyart, widow of Antoine Verard." 
 
 To these testimonies must be added the lawsuits ^ of May 20th, 
 1528, where Germaine Guyart appears with Marguerite, Jeanne, 
 and Guillaume Verard, and in another court, *' Catherine Laillier, 
 widow of the late Barthelemy Verard, who was also son and heir 
 of Antoine Verard deceased," all requiring the division of certain 
 vineyards formerly the property of Antoine Verard. 
 
 On these fads, the theory of Baron Pichon and M. Vicaire is 
 that there were two Antoines, the first the well-known publisher, 
 the second a son of his who published from 15 18 to 1527 ; and 
 that Barthelemy was the son of the second Antoine. As, how- 
 ever, his only dated book appears in 15 14, this theory involves 
 the somewhat extraordinary supposition that he took on the 
 business at his grandfather's death, and was succeeded by his own 
 father. 
 
 This difficulty may be avoided by supposing that the name of 
 Antoine of the colophons after 15 14 is merely copied from the 
 earlier ones as being a sort of trade mark (and it may be mentioned 
 that all of them, except perhaps the Psalterium Daviticum, are re- 
 prints of publications of the " original " Antoine). It will be seen 
 that there is nothing in the legal documents inconsistent with this

view, which would make the " Antoine " mentioned in them to be 
 one and the same person. 
 
 If this theory of the loose usage of Verard's name be accepted, 
 it will be admitted that the use of the two devices may well have 
 been looser still, so it is not worth while trying to account for the 
 varying combinations of names and devices just now alluded to.

 Illustrations: (i) Art de Bien Mourir. A set of illustrations imitated 
 from the German block-books of the Jrs Moriendi ; on [a^ b\^o. 6. 
 
 (2) Leguyllon de crainte diuine^ etc. Each of the " peines d'enfer" is set 
 forth in a cut. This set closely resembles one used by Guyot Marchand in 
 his 1493 edition of the same book. Whether this is a case of imitation on 
 one side or the other, or of copying from a common source, is undecided. 
 
 Besides this set the treatise contains on [dj «] a cut by the same artist as 
 No. 31, and much resembling it. 
 
 (3) Aduenement de antechrist. A few miscellaneous cuts, e.g. on [k, <?] 
 No. 17 ; on the verso of that leaf a small cut also found, with many others 
 from the same hand, in the Roman de la Rose of [1498 ?J, and on [I2 b] 
 No. 31. Besides these there is a set of cuts illustrating the "quinze signes," 
 and one of the "Jugement dernier," all by an inferior hand, and a full-page 
 cut of the Deity surrounded by the Blessed. 
 
 (4) ^'^^ ^^t ^^ f^ien Viure is copiously illustrated. The common frontis- 
 piece-cut, No. 17, occurs twice ; on [BB,, ^] one of the "peines d'enfer" is 
 used again, without any particular reference to the text. 
 
 There are also several sets of cuts (i) in compartments, with labels, illus- 
 trating scenes from the Bible history; (2) an oblong set, representing the 
 Adoration of the Virgin, the Lord's Prayer, the Apostles, etc. ; (3) a full- 
 page set, illustrating the Sacraments. 
 
 Many of the cuts throughout the book are reproduced by M. Monceaux, 
 though in many cases from an illuminated copy. Several of the laro-e cuts 
 are surrounded by borders from the Mer des Hystoires. 
 
 O" [FFg] are found a small black initial L and C, the former in two 
 varieties. Elsewhere in the book spaces are left for rubrished initials, the 
 corresponding lower-case letter being sometimes printed in the middle. On 
 
 9 C 
 
[ao a] is a large initial E in the same style as the large initials of the Mer 
 des Hyst aires.

 Note : The beginning of the title, in the Bib. Nat. copy, down to the 
 word "fait" is written in blue ink. The printed title begins: Icy est le 
 compost et kaledrier des Bergiers Nouuellement refait et autrement compose que 
 nestoit par auant Ou quel^ etc.^ as appears from the description given of the 
 other known copy in Firmin-Didot's catalogue of his library. From the 
 same source it would appear that the painted coat-of-arms below the title 
 covers an impression of the device of Guyot Marchand. Sig. b of this copy 
 belongs to the edition printed by Marchand in July of the same year. For 
 further details concerning this and other editions of the Compost in which 
 Verard was not concerned, see Dr. H. O. Sommer's Prolegomena to his 
 facsimile reprint of The Kalender of Shepherds^ London, 1892. Verard's 
 device is painted over the colophon ; but the latter is sufficiently visible to 
 show its identity with that of the July edition.

 Illustrations : A large number of cuts first used by Verard in his y/r/ de

 ,33 ^ 
 
cuts, e.g. on [rrii b'\ No. 2i, on [z^ b'\ No. 17, on [I5 ^] a cut showing angels 
 supporting a shield on which are the emblems of the Passion. On [Ij h'\ is 
 a cut representing a shepherd finding his way by observation of the stars 
 with an instrument. This appears at first sight identical with one used by 
 Guyot Marchant at Paris and Nicolas Le Rouge at Troyes {Monceaux^ i. 
 145) but on inspedlion proves to be a close imitation of it. There are also 
 in the book a large number of other cuts, of German origin, and the calli- 
 graphic initials reproduced by M. Monceaux (ii. 176) are used throughout. 
 For further information as to this book, see Dr. H. O. Sommer's Prolego- 
 mena to his facsimile reprint of it, London^ 1892. The Chatsworth copy, 
 from which this reprint was made, is the only perfeft one known. 
 
 Type: This type is only known to exist elsewhere in a single leaf of an 
 unknown edition of Alexander Barclay's Castle of Labour^ discovered by 
 Mr, Gordon DufF among the Bagford collections (Harl. 5919, No. 215).

 Illustrations : Throughout, a large number of cuts of a religious nature. 
 The illuminations in many cases do not hide the original design, but only 
 a few seem to be used elsewhere in V6rard's books. Of the latter most 
 belong to a set of small German cuts, elsewhere alluded to. In vol. i in 
 [m2 b] is cut No. 32, Vol. 4 [aaaa^ b] is a cut representing the author at 
 his desk, and in the corner, Christ with the signs of the Passion. On the 
 title-pages of vols. 2 and 4 respedively are L No. 6 and L No. 10.

 Illustrations : This copy is one executed by V^rard for Charles VIII. 
 An illumination on the frontispiece represents him kneeling before a king 
 and queen, with courtiers in the background. This page has a fine border 
 of fleur-de-lys in blue and gold. The next leaf bears on its redlo cut No. i 7, 
 illuminated, and having a similar border but of inferior execution. Doubt- 
 less an inferior artist wzs employed when an illumination was used merely 
 to colour and not obliterate a woodcut. Throughout the book are illumina- 
 tions, no doubt covering cuts.

 Illustrations : The book is copiously illustrated with cuts of all sizes from 
 V^crard's books of chivalry, and a new set. There is also an extensive set of 
 small German cuts, evidently made for an edition of the Bible, and closely 
 adapted to the text. In vol. i. on [A2 a'] No. 17, [aj a] No. 39, [aj b']

 Note : This edition, no doubt issued in 1488, is a reprint of the edition of 
 1485 printed by Pierre Levet probably for Verard. Here the date of the 
 completion of the volume has been altered from 1485 to 1488 (apparently 
 with the idea that it was the date of impression), and Verard's colophon is 
 added.

 Illustrations : On the title-page of the Fais, L No. 9. On the verso of 
 the title-leaf is an elaborate cut — five personages sitting, wearing scarves, 
 which appear as solid black portions of the cut, before them walk " le clerc," 
 " le procureur " reading ; in the middle portion of the cut are " le grefFe," 
 *'le receveur," sitting at tables : below are other groups. On [a.^ o] and on 
 [Aj a] is a cut of a man lying on a bed, propped on his right arm ; in the

 Note : The vellum copy at the Bibliothcque Nationale has numerous 
 small variations on the title-page, vvrhich reads: Les faiz mai stre alain/ 
 charetier.; Tous charetiers tat parfaiz q imparfaiz, etc. The verso of the 
 title is occupied by an illumination representing the author giving his book 
 to a king. The colophon and device are absent, having apparently been 
 deleted, and in their place is a small painted device, exhibiting a heart with 
 Vdrard's monogram, flanked by birds.

 Illustrations : On the title-page is an ornamental L, exaftly the same as 
 that on the title of the Commentaires Jules Cesar of 1485, except that it has 
 a portion additional at the base. The numerous slight imperfedions in the

 style. Among the re-used cuts are [in vol. i] on [a />] No. 7, on [aj ^] No. 
 43, on [kj al No. 32, side by side with another cut of totally different style,

Illustrations : Up to sig. ss, these consist of a set of blocks depidling the 
 ravages of the " Grand Loup ravissant," with two other unimportant cuts 
 not elsewhere seen. After sig. ss occur a remarkable set of cuts, in a very 
 heavy style, which gives them the appearance of pen-and-ink drawings done 
 with a broad pen. These represent the ravages of Death. They appear to 
 be from the same hand as the folio cut of " Le Theatre " in the Terence 
 (No. 152). Throughout the book are 'grotesque' and ' floral' initials.

 Illustrations : On the title-page of each part, L No. 4. The illustrations 
 in the British Museum copy are covered with illuminations totally different 
 from them in subjedl : the initials also are illuminated. The same two types 
 are used as in the other edition bearing the date 1498 ; but the second (No. 3) 
 has a different capital O, and is used much more extensively, i.e. in all the 
 preliminary leaves, in ff. 73-172 of vol. 2, and ff. 37-152 of vol. 3. This 
 edition agrees page for page with the other ; but even where the same type is 
 used, it is evident that every page has been set up afresh.

 Illustrations : On the title-page of each volume is L No. 9 : throughout

 Type: No. 1 1. 
 
 Copies known : Brit. Mus. (C. 22. f. 13-15), Bib. Nat. (Vel. 751-3). 
 Note: This edition is set up, page for page, from the earlier edition. In 
 it there is the same gap between pp. 44 and 45, which here (at least in the 
 British Museum copy) has not been remedied, as in the earlier edition, by 
 the insertion of additional leaves. Here, as in the earlier edition, fol. 164 of 
 vol. I has been cut out, but its absence does not cause a gap in the text. 
 
 These two editions must evidently have been printed in rapid succession, 
 and it seems desirable to assign this to the earliest possible date, namely, July- 
 December, 1503, the year in which Verard arrived at his new address, 
 
 88 
 
^^ devant la rue neufue nostre dame^'' and the earlier edition to the earlier 
 part of the same year, which Verard spent ^^ prei petit Pont."

 Illustrations : This book is probably illustrated from a greater number of 
 sources than any other of Verard's. First there are an old set of small cuts 
 in a charadleristic style, and mostly with archite6tural borders, e.g. on [fg /<] 
 No. 40. Then there are a few cuts from the Jrt de hien viure isf de bien 
 mourir, e.g. on [f^ a] No. 18; and two others on [mj a] and [m^ ^], and 
 others equally familiar, e.g. on [h3 a] No. 17, on [h^ a] No. 21. There are 
 also a few impressions, from metal plates, having black backgrounds, e.g. 
 on [ig b]. On [g^ a} is a cut of a shepherd taking observations from the 
 stars, /ot/V^/^^:/ from one in the Calendrierdcs Bergers^^nnt&A by Guy Marchand, 
 1493. The original is reproduced by M. Monceaux [op. cit.y i., 145). On 
 [a^ a] is a cut in the * heavy ' style (No. 45). Only a few of the cuts specially 
 made for the earlier edition, and representing the " regnars," have been left 
 in. There are no cuts after sig. m, and very few of the * grotesque' and 
 * calligraphic ' initials with which the earlier part of the book is adorned.

 Note : The Almanack begins with 1513, according to Van Praet, whence 
 the above description is taken (i. 118). According to that writer there were 
 copies in the Library of the Oratory at Paris and in the Harley Library, and 
 he gives a precise reference to the catalogue of the latter, where the book in 
 question appears thus (Bibl. Harl., IV. 786, No. 18391) : " Heures a I'usage 
 de, &c. Paris. The Almanack in the third page informs us that this Book 
 was printed in the year 1523." The Oratory copy was, however, doubtless 
 corredlly described by Van Praet.

 Note : This agrees very closely with No. 224, printed for the use of Orleans. 
 By accident, apparently, the date has not been altered to correspond with the 
 change of address. The word Turonansis is in AIS.

 Copies known : Bib. Nat.* (Vel. 579), Archiepiscopal Library, Lambeth. 
 
 Note : There seems no adequate reason for the early date assigned by 
 M. Monceaux to this edition. The deletion of the colophon certainly 
 points to Verard, but there is no dire<Sl proof of connexion with him.

 Copy known : Bib. Nat.* (Vel. 1736). 
 
 Note : This copy has no indication of being printed for Verard, except 
 that the type is his No. 3. There are several illuminations, apparently cover- 
 ing cuts. On the title-page are blank impressions of tv/o devices, quite un- 
 distinguishable. In the La Valliere catalogue (No. 769) a copy on paper is 
 described as having Verard's device on the last leaf, and four additional leaves, 
 printed with smaller type, containing " ix petites reigles pour cognoistre 
 peche mortel . . . extraiftes par frere lucas de Zagis." 
 
 263. Fontaine des Amoureux. [1506?] 
 
 Collation : 64 unnumbered leaves, sig. a-Cg, d^, e-lg. 27 lines to a full 
 page. 
 
 Description: [aj «.] La / Fontaine des amoureux.// [le ^-j End' Sy peu 
 que cest, au moins ioyeusement. Finis. 
 
 Illustrations : On title L No. 7 ; on verso of title, cut No. 8 : through- 
 out various figures from the Terence (No. 152). 
 
 Copy known : Brit. Mus. (C. 34. g. 6 (2)). 
 
 Note : This book bears no diredl evidence of connection with Verard j 
 but the type is the same as that of the Amoureux transy (No. 154), and the 
 cuts, including the L on the title, all appear in Verard's books. The last 
 leaf bears a portion of a set-oiF from Verard's L No. 7. 
 
 264. Grant Vita Christi. [By Ludolphus de Saxonia.] 
 
 Note : (i) No. 998 of the Incunabula at the Bibliotheque Ste. Genevieve 
 is almost certainly unconnedled with Verard, though it has his L No. 7 on 
 tlie title, and a few cuts also to be found in the Pastilles of 15 11 [No. 99]. 
 
 118 
 
The initials, however, are not Verard's, and every page and column is 
 surrounded by a line, which feature is nowhere else seen in V<^rard books. 
 Moreover, some of the cuts seem of a date subsequent to Verard's death. 
 (2) Hain 10298 is probably identical with No. 138. 
 
 265. Jardin de vertueuse Consolation. [1506?] 4"*. 
 
 Collation : 12 unnumbered leaves (the last missing?), sig. a-bg. 29 lines

 Description: [aj ^.] Le iar din ' de vertueuse consolation, [b- ^.] Aymons

 Illustrations : On title-page L No. 7 ; on verso a cut, covered by 
 illumination. 
 
 Types: Those of the Contemplations S. Augustin (No. 161) and the Temp- 
 tacions de V Ennemy (No. 190). 
 
 Copy known : Bib. Nat.* (Vel. 1759)- 
 
 266. Le Jouvencel. 1497. 
 
 Note: Brunet and Hain (No. 9463) mention this edition, which has no 
 existence. The mistake probably arose from a peculiarity of the vellum copy 
 of the 1493 edition in the Hofbibliothek at Vienna. In this, writes Dr. 
 Goldlin von Tiefenau, custos of that library, the word treize in the colo- 
 phon has been erased and xvii, the year of the illuminator's task, inserted 
 instead. 
 
 267. Livy. Premiere (-tierce) decade i486, etc. fol. 
 
 Note : These volumes, ascribed to V6rard by Hain and the Mazarine 
 catalogue, and printed " en la grant Rue saind Jacques," do not appear to 
 be conne6led with him. 
 
 268. Louenge des roys de France. [After 1503.] 8°.

 on [d4 b] No. 7, and on [gg b] one from the Terence (No. 152). 
 
 Types : Nos. 3, 13. 
 
 Copy known : Brit. Mus. (C. 22. a. 8, on vellum). 
 
 Note: According to Brunet, this book was printed for Verard about 
 1495, but it closely resembles a set (Nos. 76, 81, etc.) of the same type and 
 format as this, and having L No. 8 on the title-page, which appeared about 
 I 506. There is no diredl indication of Verard, who must however have sup- 
 plied the British Museum copy to Henry VII. of England. 
 
 270. Mystere de rincarnation. s.l.n.d. 
 
 Note: Quoted by Brunet from the Daunou catalogue. 
 
 271. La Nef de Sante. [By Nicolas de la Chesnaye.] 151 1. 4®.

 Description : [a^ a-] Lordinaire des crestiens. [zg b.J Cy finist lordinayre

 Types : Nos. 3, 4, and a large type on title-page. 
 
 Copy known : Maz.* (Inc. 233). 
 
 Note : There is no direct evidence that Verard was conne6ted with the 
 publication of this book ; but the types, illustrations, and initials (except the 
 L on the title-page) are his. 
 
 273. Ordonnances de la Pfevote. 1500 [1501], Jan. 
 
 Description : [aj a.] Le present li-/ure fait men-/cion des ordonances de la

 Illustrations : On title, Verard's L No. 8 : on last leaf a large L not 
 used by him, adorned with a bird, a monkey, and a female figure. On the 
 verso of the title a cut representing the " Preuot et escheuins " (le receveur, 
 le grefFe, etc.). Throughout the book spirited small cuts representing various 
 occupations. Numerous large calligraphic and grotesque initials, not V<!rard's. 
 
 Types : Verard's No. 7, apparently, and two large types not his. 
 
 Copy known : Maz.* (Inc. 1079). 
 
 274. Ovid. Epistres d'Ovide. 
 
 Note : In the library of Monsieur J. Masson at Amiens are two imper 
 fe6l tirages of an edition of this work, differing only in the title-page, which 
 in one case has two cuts from the Terence of i50o[?] below the title, in the 
 other a portion of ornamental border. The more perfedt of the two copies 
 has signatures, a-s^ ; there are 30 lines to a full page, and type No. 2 is 
 used. This edition may possibly have been printed for V^rard. 
 
 275. Pas des armes de Sandricourt. [i493 -^J f*^^- 
 
 Collation : 14 unnumbered leaves, sig. a^, bj (last blank). 37-40 lines to a

 Illustrations : On title, L No. 4: numerous illuminations, possibly 
 covering cuts. 
 
 Types : Nos. ii, 13. 
 
 Copy known : Bib. Nat.* (Vel. 1033-4). 
 
 Note : There is no direct evidence of connection with Verard ; but it is 
 most likely that he would be seledled to produce so sumptuous and courtly a 
 book. 
 
 276. Postilles et expositions des epitres et des evangiles.

 Collation [of a very imperfe£l copy] : sig. B-Cg [numbered 9-23], i-Oj,

 Illustrations : Mostly relevant to the text. Some are from Verard's books 
 of chivalry, e.g on [I3 a'\ No. 22. Small ' black ' initials. 
 
 Type : No. 1 1 . 
 
 Copy known : Brit. Mus. (C. 22. c. 13, on vellum).

 Note : This book has no diredl indication of Verard, but is illustrated 
 with an astonishingly miscellaneous set of cuts nearly all used in his books, 
 whole pages being sometimes covered with them. His L No. I is on the 
 title-page, and the book appears to be printed in his type No. I.

CHART OF VERARD'S SIXTEENTH CENTURY 
 HORiE IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM.^ 
 
 Set a is copied from Pigouchet's set b. 
 
 Set a* is copied from Pigouchet's set b*, except No. i, which differs from Pigouchet's 
 
 Grail (as found at a later date). No. 2 is a copy of Pigouchet's b* i, not 
 
 his b* 2. 
 Set b is copied from Pigouchet's set c, but Nos. 3, 20, 24 are not found in Pigouchet's 
 
 set, though the style is similar. 
 Set c is copied from Pigouchet's set d. 
 d 1-5, odd cuts ; d 3 is found on the title of the Utrecht Missal of 1497 by Higman 
 
 and Hopyl. 
 Order of Nos. 248-251 fixed by cracks in 8, 11, 20, 21, but most of all in 13. Nos. 
 
 243 and 244 are partly identical : closely connected in date. 
 The Sarum edition, No. 232, has a large number of additional cuts (a set of 22 cuts of 
 
 Saints); 6 cuts of the Passion form a second setj also a Pentecost and Image of 
 
 Pity in the criblee style. Date fixed by cut No. 3, which is more broken than in 
 
 1503, and by No. 8, which belongs to set a, and was therefore disused by 1506.
