New edition of the French translation (the first having appeared in 1578 in folio and octavo formats) which, according to Barbier, is owed to two Benedictines: Denys Hangart and Jean Gillot. According to recent research, Hangart would be the sole translator and Jean Gillot would be the scholarly editor. Publisher's marks on title page. The Bibliothèque Nationale de France only holds the 1586 reprints by the same publisher and one 1578 copy, in folio, from Lyon.
