Notes
The 126-stanza version, with the correct reading "Il mentoit comme leuangille" in stanza 122--Cf. Piaget & Picot, eds., Oeuvres poétiques de Guillaume Alexis, I, 246.
The author's name is rendered as an acrostic on in the last stanza.
Second state of smaller printer's device (7.5 x 5.6 cm): "pierre mareschal bernabe chaussart." Baudrier dates the printer's device to after 1503, but BMC VIII 316 to1499. See also Polain, Marques des imprimeurs et libraires, 58. In this copy the device shows signs of wear indicating a publication date later than Mareschal and Chaussard's edition of Articuli fidei (PML 195868).
Only known copy of this edition.
