COLLECTIONS: Amsterdam (De Jong and de Groot, 1988, 251-253, 578.1-21 [Figs. 578.1, 8, 12, 15, 18], as Boyvin after Thiry).\u00a0 Florence, 7927-7934ss, 7936-7945ss, 7947-7970ss, 9860ss.\u00a0 Los Angeles, Ruiz (Schab, 1968, 83, no. 67A).\u00a0 Paris, Ed 3; SNR (incomplete); Ed 6b; Sa 40.\u00a0 Paris, Louvre, Rothchild Collection (P. Jean-Richard, in Seizi\u00e8me Si\u00e8cle…Rothchild<\/em>, 1965-1966, nos. 18-19, State I).\u00a0 Rome, Vol. 50-K-71, 93534-93559.\u00a0 Vienna, F.I.3, pp.16-24 (in French); H.B.IV, pp.59-72 (in Latin).<\/p>\n

The most complete accounts of these prints and their editions are given by Robert-Dumesnil and Linzeler.\u00a0 They were published in 1563 (Robert-Dumesnil: State II) with texts in Latin or in French and with a dedicatory inscription indicating that they were engraved by Boyvin after designs by L\u00e9onard Thiry.\u00a0 Fuhring, 1989, 332, notes that at least two editions are known:<\/p>\n

State I, unnumbered; State II, numbered, dated 1563, often bound; 2nd edition, numbers removed, eighteenth century edition by E. Desrochers.\u00a0 The last engraving of the series is inscribed: Leonardus.\/ thiri inue.<\/em>, and Renatus.\/ F<\/em>.\u00a0 In 1699 another edition was published with a title page inscribed: HISTOIRE DE JASON Peinte Par M ROUS A Fontainebleau <\/em>(Robert-Dumesnil).\u00a0 It is probable that the inscription to Thiry on the last plate of this edition, which has not been seen, was also changed.\u00a0 A later edition (Le Blanc: State IV; Robert-Dumesnil: State III) gives an inscription stating that they are after paintings by Primaticcio at Fontainebleau (and with the address of E. Desrochers, see Fuhring, 1989, above).<\/p>\n

These prints and the drawings from which they were made are among the major sources of our knowledge of Thiry\u2019s style (see Mariette, Ab\u00e9c\u00e9dario<\/em>, V, 1858-1859, 22, as Boyvin after Thiry; Kusenberg, 1931, 212, n. 365, the drawings as by Boyvin; McAllister Johnson, in EdF<\/em>, 1972, 199, 200, ills., 202, nos. 225, 226, and 246, ill., 248-249, nos. 283-284; Fontainebleau<\/em>, 1973, I, 92-93, Figs. 63-66, II, 67-68, nos. 225-226, 78, nos.

Wilson-Chevalier, in Fontainebleau<\/em>, 1985, 115-117, no. 64 [Ch\u00e2teau-Mus\u00e9e de Nemours], 218-220, no. 165 [Paris, Ed 31, 222, 224, no. 171; Paris, Ed 3]; and Brugerolles and Guillet, 1994, ix, x, 96-103, nos. 33-35, and Figs. of drawings and related prints,2<\/sup><\/a> and 126, under no. 40, and Fig.; B\u00e9guin, 1995, 192, noted Thiry\u2019s attempts to transpose Rosso\u2019s invective narrative ideas and decorative language).\u00a0 Thiry is recorded as having died in Antwerp in 1550 or a little before (Kusenberg, 1931, 109, 113), some thirteen years before the dated complete sets.\u00a0 But Robert-Dumesnil indicates that there are some unnumbered impressions that constitute a first state and that it is probable that the numbers were added only when the prints were grouped together as a book in 1563.\u00a0 As these numbers appear on the added plates at the bottom that include the engraved texts, it is possible that the pictorial and ornamental plates were engraved considerably before 1563.\u00a0 For impressions of this first state, see Berliner, 1925-1926, I, Pls. 134-138, Text Volume, 44.<\/p>\n
