     After the death of Guyon Boudeville, executed for his Protestant faith in 1562, the remaindered copies were transported to Paris and put up for sale by Gabriel Buon, who reprinted the four introductory pages with a new title page and the last leaf containing the notice to the reader. He logically deleted the colophon dated 1559 as well as the mark of the Toulouse printer on the back of the page.
