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 Genève chez Iaques Foillet, 1607, in 8°,’ is mentioned by Freytag in the Analecta Literaria, p. 1136. A similar entry, but omitting ‘Genève,’ 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 l’Apocalypse de Saint Jean, contenant tres parties.… par Jean Gros. Genève, Fontaine, 1642, in 4°.’
