     At the very end of the 16^th century Guyon Boudeville’s remaindered copies had not yet sold out. After Gabriel Buon’s death around 1595, the title was changed in 1597 to Abrege des dix livres d’architecture... and located at the address of Antoine Du Breuil. The dedication to Jean Bertrand and the foreword to “artisans and those who love the study of architecture” was deleted.
