Notes
[1] W. H. Willshire, Playing and other Cards in the British Museum, 1 vol. 8vo. (1876).
[2] It is often called the Mazarine Bible, because a copy was discovered, with notes written in it by the illuminator, in the library of Cardinal Mazarin. It is very scarce. In 1884 Mr. Quaritch bought a very fine copy from the library of Sir John Thorold, for which he paid £3,900.
[3] History of Wood-Engraving, 1883.
[4] An English version, neither faithful nor complete, was published in the time of Queen Elizabeth, 'At London, Printed for Simon Waterson, and are to be sold at his shop in St. Paule's Churchyard at Chepegate, 1592.' It is extremely scarce. Many of the pages, as giving examples of costume, have lately been reprinted by authority of the Science and Art Department.
There is a French edition of Poliphilo, printed at Paris by Kerver in 1561, with illustrations in a late florid French style.
[5] In a recent Catalogue, Mr. Quaritch offers no less than seven different editions of the illustrated 'Livre d'Heures' printed by Verard, at prices varying from 60l. to 200l.
[6] It was printed, with descriptions in black-letter, at the Chiswick Press, and published by Joseph Cundall, 12 Old Bond Street, 1840.
[7] It is now issued by George Bell & Sons, who also publish Holbein's Bible Pictures.
