The verses, attributed often to Jean Maugin who edited an edition in 1546, are by Claude Chappuys and two others according to two mss. cited in the Rothschild catalogue.

Illustrations: pictorial title border and 32 half-page engravings by Léonard Gaultier. The illustrations are primarily reversed, enlarged copies with added background detail of the woodcuts of the 1546 edition published by Jeanne de Marnef, widow of Denis Janot. These in turn were based on Italian engravings of designs by Michiel Coxcie formerly attributed to Raphael.
