Transcriber’s Note

The table at the end of this note summarizes any corrections to the text that have been deemed to be printer’s errors. Proper names have been mostly allowed to stand as well, given the vagaries of spelling and translation in the originals, with the exception of Diane of Poi[c]tiers, whose name is consistently spelled without the ‘c’, save in the one instance noted.

The paragraph at the bottom of p. 19, beginning with ‘For the nature of Fictile ornamentation...’ ends with a double quotation mark which is unmatched. It is not clear where the quotation begins, since the passage seems to be partly paraphrasing. The quotation has been allowed to stand.

The spelling of the emblem-writer ‘Cœlius’ in the General Index disagrees with that given in the table on p. 89 as ‘Cælius’.

On p. 39, an illustration serves as a border for the text. This has been approximated here, but, depending on browser settings, may not display correctly.

On p. 289 and p. 418, the ornate dropcap letters for ‘F’ and ‘L’ on the opening lines of poetry has not been reproduced, but can be seen here.

The text makes frequent use of now-obsolete contractions, ligatures, and scribal abbreviations. The Greek terminal -os () ligature is rendered here using an inline image.The Greek terminal -os ligature is given simply as The Latin terminal -que () is rendered as ‘q́₃que’. There is a French terminal ‘e’ which appears with a slash as . This is rendered as ‘é̩[e/]̩’.

The index entry for the Latin phrase Malè parta, malè dilabuntur includes a reference to p. 502, where it is not mentioned. The emblem associated with the phrase appears on p. 487. The incorrect page reference was retained, but a link is provided to the correct location.
