Edition Notes
Colophon reads: Icy se terminent l'ordre & progrez du triumphant & magnifique aduenement du roy & de la royne de Erance [sic] dautant prompte que liberale volontè [sic] celebré en leur bonne ville de Roven, et nouuellement imprimé par Iean le Prest, au dict lieu [Rouen] le ix. iour de ce moys de decembre. 1551.
Includes 29 woodcuts depicting people and animal scenes from the procession, allegorical carriages, and architectural elements; leaves K2 verso and K3 recto comprise a whole illustration with caption at head of plate: "Figure des Brisilians", dramatic scene showing life and warfare among Brazilian aboriginal peoples; for description and reproduction. Cf. Moraes. "Sometimes ... attributed to Jean Cousin or Jean Goujon, but they are probably the work of a lesser artist influenced by Goujon's designs for the account of [Henry II's] Paris entry [Mortimer 202]". Cf. Mortimer.
These cuts subsequently reissued with a new text in verse under title: Les Pourtraicts et figures du somptueux ordre, plaisantz spectacles et magnifiques theatres ... faictz à l'entrée de la sacrée maiesté du tres chrestien roy de France, Henri second ... (Rouen : Jean Dugort, 1557). Cf. Grässe; Moraes.
"Louenge & gloire en action ...", leaves R3 verso and R4 recto, are two pages with music and text for 4 voices.
