NotesIn three volumes: I) Le premier volume de Merlin. II) Le seconde volume de Merlin. III) Les prophéties de Merlin. Vérard published another closely-resembling edition, which from the state of the cuts and the address must be dated after July 1503. It is unclear whether any of the parts registered here or described in the references belong in fact to the 1503 edition
