[Copies are worth between three and four hundred francs,—Maisonneuve in 1881 pricing it at 400 francs. Quaritch held a copy in 1883 at so high a price as £60. The cuts are well done, and Gaffarel thinks them the work of Jean Cousin.—Ed.] La cosmographie vniverselle d’André Thevet, cosmographe dv roy. Illustrée de diuerses figures des choses plus remarquables vevës par l’auteur, et incogneües de noz anciens & modernes. 2 vols., folio, Paris, 1575. It has 204 pages on America; cf. Carter-Brown Catalogue, vol. i. no. 599. Mr. Brevoort says that he has a copy of the Singularitez with the date 1557; see his Verrazano, p. 112. [Another copy of this date (1557) is shown in the Huth Catalogue, vol. iv. p. 1464, which says that its collation agrees with Brunet’s collation of the copies dated 1558. A copy of the 1557 date brought $17 in Boston in 1844. Both books are in the Astor Library.—Ed.]
[122] [Published at Anvers, 1558. The cuts are but poor copies of those in the Paris edition; cf. Bernard’s Geofroy Tory, Paris, 1865, p. 320. Leclerc thinks it rarer than the Paris edition of the same year, because Ternaux does not mention it. (Brinley Catalogue, vol. i. no. 150.) Harvard College Library has this edition, which Quaritch prices at £7 7s.—Ed.]
