[Footnote 82: Ibid., fol. 58 verso. Again, as in note 5 on page 18, I will call attention to the fact that the English, who are much more French in this respect than is generally supposed, have retained the old pronunciation. They sound the final T in words borrowed from us.] [Footnote 83: _Champ fleury_, fol. 52 recto.] [Footnote 84: Ibid. fol. 56 verso.] [Footnote 85: Ibid. fol. 37 verso.] [Footnote 86: I have seen this binding on an octavo copy of the _Ædiloquium_ of 1530, now in the Bibliothèque Nationale and on the _Sommaire de Chroniques de J. B. Egnasio_, of 1529, owned by M. Didot. [The famous collection of M. Didot has since been dispersed.]] [Footnote 87: Book of Hours of 1556, owned by M. Niel. This volume was printed by the Kervers, who had bought Tory's old plant.] [Footnote 88: I have seen it on the Hours of 1531, and the _Diodorus_ of 1535, which two volumes also are [1865] owned by M. Didot.] [Footnote 89: [See nos. 1 and 2, on p. 45, infra.]] [Footnote 90: Fol. 43 verso. Inadvertently, no doubt, this mark is reversed on the first page of _Champ fleury_. Tory attached little importance to the error, for the same engraving often appeared afterward. It is not signed [with the double cross], like the one here reproduced.] [Footnote 91: Here, and in numberless other passages in his books, Tory alludes to Italy, of which he always retained a grateful memory.] [Footnote 92: _Champ fleury_, fol. 43 recto.] [Footnote 93: [See page 12, supra.]] [Footnote 94: The Renaissance, at this time, was at its height.] [Footnote 95: Read Μηδὲν ἄγαν.] [Footnote 96: [Against which not even the gods contend.]] [Footnote 97: [See page 1, supra.]] [Footnote 98: This eminent artist, who has no article in the _Biographie Universelle_, and who is not even mentioned in the _desiderata_ of the _Notice des tableaux du Louvre de l'école française_, published by M. Villot, did not die until about 1528, if my reckoning is accurate. We can establish the fact of his existence so late as 1522 by the documents published by M. de Laborde in his book on the Renaissance. I once owned an original letter of Perreal, which shows him in full vigour in 1511. That letter, which I presented to M. Alexandre Sirand, magistrate at Bourg, has been published by him in his _Courses Archéologiques_, vol. iii, p. 5, in connection with the church at Brou, in which Perreal was deeply interested. The letter I refer to is dated November 15 (1511) and addressed to Margaret of Austria (widow of the Duke of Savoy), to whom Perreal offers his services as superintendent of the work of building the church. That princess accepted his offer, as we see by her reply of February, 1511 (1512 new style): 'Since Jehan Le Maire hath left us, we choose to have no other overseer in our edifices at Brou than yourself.' (See the work last cited.)] [Footnote 99: La Caille, in his _Histoire de l'Imprimerie_, p. 98, gives the date erroneously as September 28, 1584.]
