     Simon de Colines published his last edition of the Raison darchitecture antique in 1542, which differs very little from the edition of 1539.  The typographical changes are minor and are due to the new layout of the text.  Many spelling mistakes and various errors have been corrected (proper names and folio numbers).  For example, "Archimède" has been restored, replacing "Archanus".
