Renouard, _Annales de l'impr. des Estienne_, 2^e ed., p. 106; adds to
his description of the volume the following note: "Dedie au cardinal de
Lorraine, pour lequel il en fut tire sur velin un exemplaire que depuis
l'on a vu relie en maroq. jaune ancien, avec une tete en or sur la
couverture. Il a passe dans une Bibliotheque inconnue." The present copy
answers completely to this description and is without doubt the
dedication copy in question. The binding (17th cent.) is yellow morocco,
browned by age, gilt edges, with a medallion head in gold embossed on
the back cover. Within are written names of former owners; on the title
page _N. Tetel_, _1644 datum Remis_ and _Claude Henry Corrard_; on the
cover linings _ex Libris Claudii Tetel ad Mussey_(?); _Ce livre
appartient a m^{lle} Jean Collot_.
By an oversight Renouard omitted this volume from his list (p. 271) of
"Editions Stephaniennes dont on connoit un on plusieurs exemplaires
imprimes sur velin." It increases the number to twenty-three, seventeen
of them printed by the first Henri and only six by his descendants.
