A Paris edition, probably printed shortly before this one, has title "Ample discours au roy, sue le faict des quatre estats du royaume de France: composé par Ioachim Du-Bellay angevin, peu de iours avant son trespas, a l'imitation d'un autre plus succinct, au paravant faict en vers latins par messire Michel de L'Hospital ... & apres mis en françois par ledict Du-Bellay"; the textual differences between the 2 eds. seem to indicate that they derive from different mss.; their nearly simultaneous publication is probably accidental. This Lyons ed. was edited by Philibert Bugnyon.--cf. Du Bellay's Oeuvres poétiques, ed. H. Chamard, v. 6 (Paris, 1931) p. xixff.
