II. TESTAMENTUM NOVUM.—ADDITIS PICTURIS IN EVANGELIA ET APOCALYPSIM, QUIBUS MIRACULA ET VISIONES ELEGANTISSIME EXPRIMUNTUR. (Mark of Madeleine Boursette, widow of François Regnault; Silvestre, no. 396.) 'Parisiis. Apud viduam Francisci Regnault, via Jacobæa.—1552.'

At the end of the volume: 'Parisiis. Excudebat Stephanus Mesviere, in ædibus Vindocimis, ex adverso collegii Becodiani.'—1552.

Thirty-twomo; 45 signatures (a to z, A to Y) of eight leaves each, or 360 leaves in all. Only the first 350 are numbered; the last 10, containing the index, are without folios. Printed in very small roman type.

This book contains 120 engravings inserted in the text, and serving thus 'to illustrate,' as we should say to-day, or 'to express,' as the publisher says on the title-page, the Gospels and the Apocalypse. Those relating to the Apocalypse, 22 in number, are of earlier date than the others, and by another hand. Of those which illustrate the Gospels, many are signed with the double cross. Although several of them relate to subjects previously treated in the octavo Hours of 1527 and the sixteenmo Hours of 1529, the engravings, while they are of nearly the same size, are different none the less.
