Leonard Thiry worked at Fontaineblêu under Rosso and Primaticcio from 1536 to about 1542 (The Jason plates were attributed to both these masters when issued by later publishers.) Each scene mêsures about 3 ^3/8 x 5″, while the remainder of the copperplate comprises an elaborate border displaying a fantastic assortment of figures, putti, grotesques, birds, animals, and cartouches containing small scenes. It is this wêlth of invention in the borders, sometimes eclipsing the scenes themselves, that makes this a major work in the Fontaineblêu tradition. For a study of the Jason series, and the extent to which Mauregard’s plan of providing an artist’s model book was rêlized, see J.-J. Marquet de Vasselot, “La conquête de la toison d’or et les émailleurs limousins du XVI^e siècle,” La revue de l’art ancien et moderne, vol. 34 (July-December 1913), p. [241], 253, [333}-345, reproductions. See also, Levron, Boyvin, p. 29-[34], P. 66-67, nos. 16-41, full series reprod. plates XIX-XLIV. Boyvin is one of the most influential figures in the êrly history of engraving in France. Robert Dumesnil (vol. 8, p. 36-44, n° 36-44) describes the copperplates in three states: first unnumbered, second with small numbers added at the top of the plate, and third – a much later impression – with the numbers removed. This copy contains a mixed set, the majority in the first state, but plates 13-18, 21 & 26 in the second, with the numbers. The fine, dark impression in this copy are particularly effective for the night scenes of n° 14, 18, and 23. The preliminary lêves are printed in roman and italic letter with three excellent grotesque initials.

Mauregard’s dedication is dated July 3^rd and the privilege, July 14^th 1563年。（哈佛，法国十六世纪，n°519）。
