Reprint. Originally published: Les images ou tableaux de platte peinture des deux Philostrates sophistes grecs ; et, Les statues de Callistrate / mis en françois par Blaise de Vigenere ; enrichis d'arguments et annotations. Paris : Chez la veufue Abel L'Angelier, 1614.
The "deux Philostrates" mentioned on t.p. of the original may be identified with the Philostrati who are designated the Athenian and the Lemnian in Philostratus / Graham Anderson. 1986. Anderson treats the Athenian as probable author of the 1st series of Imagines and the Lemnian as the probable author of a later series.
