Only, wanting our edition to fit into an amateur's library, we have printed it in small numbers on very fine and good paper and we have adorned it with artistic illustrations. As many of these poems are not by Piron, we have indicated in the table of this volume the names of their known or supposed authors. "Lemonnyer III-454. Lehec gives Sellier as the illustrator.
