Note 37 — Chapter XI

Dr. Dickson, relying on the authority of M. Claudin, has ascribed these books to the press of Lawrence Hostingue of Rouen. From the facsimiles which he gives it is clear that the types are not identical. The books should rather be ascribed to Pierre Violette, who used, as far as can be seen, the same type; and who also used in his Expositio Hymnorum et Sequentiarum ad usum Sarum, printed in 1507, the woodcut of a man seated at a reading desk, which is found on the title-page of Myllar’s Garlandia.
