Footnote
Note: The first work here, a printing of the 'Poetical Books' (Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Wisdom of Solomon, & Ecclesiaticus), was unknown to Schreiber or Renouard, although they do record 7 other printings of this collection between 1524 and 1542 (and COPAC lists a copy in Cambridge). The second, containing Maccabees, appeared in at least four versions between 1524 and 1537.
