The project’s transcription
The site preserves Millet’s historical wording, printed chapters, folios and preliminary matter. Recorded passage correspondences connect the French with the modern Ussani Latin text. Ussani’s edition provides a comparison framework. Millet, of course, would have used the editio princeps published by D’Étaples and Hummelberg in 1510, or one of its reprints from 1511 or 1524.
