Ee4'-Gg3^, pp. I -3 1, The Work itself. Gg3''-Gg4^ 3 pages, blank. Signatures. A to Z and Aa to Ff in eights + Gg in four =236 leaves. Paging. 20 + 391 numbered + 2i+6 + 3i numbered + 3=472 pages. Errors in Paging. These are numerous, especially in signatures L and S, but none affect the last page. The two Tables are on folding sheets which precede 83^ and G6\ For some reason the type for the Rochelle issue of 1607 was twice set up. In this variety it will be observed that the number of pages occupied by the body of the work is about four per cent less than in the variety described in the preceding entry. The above collation is from the Edinburgh copy. The Paris copy agrees with it, except that the word " Harmonies " in the seventeenth line of the first title-page commences with a small h, as in the previous entry. An edition 'A Geneve chez laques Foillet, 1607, in 8°,' is mentioned by Freytag in the Analecta Literaria, p. 1136. A similar entry, but omitting 'Genfeve,' is made by Draudius in the Bibliotheca Exotica, 1625 edition, p. 11. Possibly Foillet was only the introducer of the work at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Le Long mentions an edition, Geneva, 1642, in 4°. An entry was found, in a library catalogue, under Napier's name, which appeared to substantiate Le Long's statement. In that case, however, the work proved to be the ' Ouverture des secrets de I'Apocalypse de Saint Jean, contenant tres parties .... par Jean Gros. Geneve, Fontaine, 1642, in 4°.' Libraries. Adv. Ed.; See. Prot. Fr, Paris; Stadt Zurich; 4. Editions

' Le Long catalogues editions Leipsic 161 1 and Gera 161 2. Draudius also, in Bibliotheca Librorum Germanicorum Classica, p. 290, mentions a Leipsic edition of 161 1.
