Note 5 — Chapter III · 1500 TO 1600.
E. C. (Edward Clements) Bigmore translation
In the Bibliothèque Nationale is a copy of an octavo Album de Caractères, in which Lebé has written, "This gloss, made in Paris (1574) by me, is my fourteenth letter, and the text is made on the pattern of the preceding one for size, but of a better art; and from this was printed the great Bible of Antwerp by Plantin, to whom I sold a fount" (folio 6). On folio 20 he wrote, "I do not know whence came this small Hebrew that I received from Plantin to make a smaller one for him. He sent me this half-sheet, and I have not seen at Venice another part."
