1 the edition of the 22 Oct 1527, printed for G. Tory by Simon
du Bois, is broader in its line, + certainly printed from wood.
Moreover, in this later Book of hours he preserves a thoroughly French
flavor in th eborder designs, with their isolated birds + flowers,
in the manner of illumination of the school of Jean Bourdichon.

2 The Book of Hours printed in 1527 by Simon du Bois for Tory contains the borders described as a la moderne. The decoration consists of
realistic representations of flowers, fruits, + animals, + thus is
nearer to teh usual gothic style. The background however is white
+ the illustrations are in Troy's style. These hours of 1527 are
printed in "letters batardes." This is a reversal of the changes
which had already taken place in the printing of Hours.
As early as 1504 Thielman Kerver had issued an edition
with the traditional style of decoration, but in roman type.
The Lorraine cross does appear to have been used by
Troy as a signature.

many splendid examples of gothic printing exist which were produced
at Paris about a year 1530 - for example, by Simon Du Bois, who
afterwards printed at Alecon.
- In addition to this work (Hours of 1525) Simon de Colines for G. Tory there are four
