These three brochures, bound together in a small volume, are in the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal. The borders used in them reappear later as frames for the engravings of a book of Hours, quarto, printed in roman type, in red and black, of which I know neither date nor place of printing nor name of printer, as I have seen nothing except a few leaves of the book, preserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale, with the works of Tory.
I. BOOK OF HOURS, quarto, printed by Tory for himself.[365]
II. BOOK OF HOURS, octavo, with arabesques of flowers, insects, animals, etc., as in the quarto Hours of 1527.[366]
III. TERENTIANUS MAURUS, DE LITERIS, etc. NICOLAO BRISSÆO ... COMMENTATORE.
This book is dedicated to Guillaume Petit, Bishop of Senlis, whose arms, with the Lorraine cross, appear on the verso of leaf 8 of the front matter. The motto is: 'Utinam novissima providerent.'
IV. CLAUDII GALENI PERGAMENI DE ANATOMICIS ADMINISTRATIONIBUS LIBRI NOVEM, JOANNE GUNTERIO ANDERNACO, MEDICO, INTERPRETE.--Parisiis, apud Simonem Colinæum, 1531.
Large folio, with an engraved frontispiece having the Lorraine cross at the foot, on the left.
The frontispiece represents several different subjects. At the top is Jesus healing the leper; at the foot, doctors dissecting a dead body and lecturing to a numerous audience; at the sides, full-length portraits of the most celebrated physicians of antiquity; in the centre of the plate is a scroll bearing the Latin title transcribed above. This frontispiece was, doubtless, used with others of the works of Galen.
Simon de Colines also published, in 1536, an edition of the works of Galen, under the supervision of the same editor (folio of 172 pages), and embellished with five beautiful floriated letters engraved by Tory. In it we find also, at the head of the epistle to the reader, an ornamental S surmounted by a coat of arms,--a charming design, but not signed.
LATIN BIBLE of 1532; folio; Robert Estienne.
The title-page is decorated with a frieze signed with the Lorraine cross, bearing the word 'Biblia' in large letters. It is a scroll surrounded by vines, with the brazen serpent at the left, and Jesus on the Cross at the right.
The BON MESNAGER of Pierre des Crescens, printed by Nicolas Cousteau for Galliot Dupré. Folio, 1533. The frontispiece, representing Dupré presenting the book to François I, is signed with the Lorraine cross.
