[41]

According to Renouard there is another copy "en grand papier" of this edition in the
Quin collection, Trinity College, Dublin. In fact, the Quin copy, which measures 170 × 106
mm, is printed on paper with the cardinal's hat watermark and so belongs to the main print
run on narrow-median paper.

[42]

For a possible royal-paper copy of another 1517 octavo, Oppian's De piscibus, see
above, n. 33.

[43]

The copy is bound in eight volumes. At the same press-mark there is also a narrow-
median copy of the fifth volume, published in 1533.

[44]

The Bibliothèque Nationale de France does not possess a copy "en grand papier" of
this edition, as Renouard states.

[45]

The copy is printed on white paper as far as f. 103, and then on blue paper. As Ren-
ouard observes, it is obviously made up from two different copies. I include the copy in my list,
not without misgivings, because it has large bottom margins.

[46]

Renouard (p. 81) mistakenly attributes this royal-paper copy, of Cracherode prov-
enance, to the 1517 edition.

[47]

Renouard wrongly states that there is a copy of this edition "en grand papier" and
with a Grolier binding in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. Presumably he confused it with
their copy of the 1514 edition (see entry 1).
