NOTE ON TRANSCRIPTION
In transcribing the original sources, including the titles of books, I have
resolved all contractions and abbreviations. In dealing with sixteenth-century
French, I have followed the practice of French scholars in transcribing
historical and literary texts, as follows:
1 I and J, V and U, are distinguished in the modern way.
2 Cedilla and apostrophe are supplied.
3 Grave accents are supplied on apres, pres, des, es, ou (meaning
'where'), ga, la and ja, and a (meaning 'at' or 'to').
4 Acute accents are supplied on the final syllable, for example in the past
participle of first-conjugation verbs.
5 Capitals are supplied as modern usage requires them, e.g. all placenames,
and surnames (family names) as well as Christian names
(forenames).
6 Original punctuation is kept unless positively misleading.
The original spelling has been retained in all other respects, and words and
letters omitted by mistake in the original have been supplied within the signs
NOTE ON PROPER NAMES
Any author who wrote in Latin in the sixteenth century might have at least
three forms of his surname: the vernacular (itself often known in a variety of
spellings and even of forms), a Latin one (formed either by adding a Latin
termination or by translating the name into Latin), and a vernacular
adaptation of the Latin. The authors of catalogues, being obliged to opt for
one form, have in recent years chosen to standardise on the vernacular, and
where this varies, on one particular form of it. I have tried to provide the
vernacular form (when it is known) and the Latin form. But in the last resort I
have chosen the name by which the author is best known to most readers.
