     After the three editions published by Simon de Colines, the Raison d’architecture antique was reedited two more times in the middle of the century.  The 1550 edition was divided between Regnault Chaudière and his son Claude.  It did not really leave the family, since Regnault, who bought Simon de Colines' bookshop in 1539, had married Geneviève Higman, Colines' stepdaughter.  It is not therefore surprising that the 1550 edition has the same number of leaves, but in a slightly different make-up (ff. 27v°, 28v°, 37, 39v°, 51v°).  Various remaining mistakes (spelling, gender agreement, misprints...) have been corrected.  Some words are modernized: "tu t’en ailles" replaces the old form "tu t’en voyses" (f. 42), "peinture" replaces "peintrerie" and "torus" replaces "thorus".
