[380] The cross is not very distinct on the copies of 1540, but, strangely enough, it is perfectly clear on those of 1546.—These engravings, like the frieze on the title-page, have been copied by other printers. Such copies may be found in a Bible published at Lyon in 1550, by Sébastien Honorat, and in another published in 1554 by Jean de Tournes. We find them also in a Bible published at Paris in 1586 by Sébastien Nivelle and Gabriel Buon, etc., etc.
[381] See concerning this book, the Revue des Sociétés Savantes, vol. v, pp. 624 ff. The author's name was Milles. Some information concerning him is given in the Revue.

[388] The Bibliophile Français (April 15, 1865) mentions an edition of this book, with the date of 1557. I regret that I was not aware of it before the above paragraph was printed, as I should have cited that edition in preference to that of 1575. However, it is unimportant, as the two editions are identical except in the order of the plates, which differs slightly.
