ILLUSTRATIONS:
The 94 ill. appear one to a page, between the Latin text that is being illustrated at the head, and the French translation by Gilles Corrozet at the foot in the form of a rhymed quatrain. The woodcuts were first used as book illustrations for: Biblia utriusque testamenti iuxta Vulgatam translationem (Lyon : M. and G. Trechsel [for Hugo à Porta], 1538); see Hollstein. Frellon's crab and butterfly device appears on t.p. The four evangelists in medallions on N3v are by another hand. See Mortimer.
Woodcuts by Lützelburger after Holbein.
