Transcription
« Ie ne parleray pas de ce superbe temple de diane, autant et plus magnifique que celuy d’Ephese, bastiment d’une si rare sculpture et architecture, qui eust causé plus destonnement à Pompée que le sanctuaire, qui eust raui dauantage les ieux d’Alexandre que les misteres d’Ammon. Il ne s’en [854] voit q’une colomme (sic) et quelques frises pres l’Eglise de sainct Lucien vers la place, et quelques autres vestiges dans les maisons voisines. » |
