And this by virtue of the privilege obtained from the King, our sovereign, both for the said Dioscorides and for several other books mentioned therein, with prohibitions and defenses to all other Booksellers and Printers, against printing or having printed, and offering for sale, the said book mentioned above, for the next five years, counting from the day and date of the printing of said book. And this upon pain of arbitrary fine, of confiscation of said books, and of damages and interests to the said Arnoullet, and otherwise: as is more fully contained in said Privilege, given at Fontainebleau the tenth day of February. The year one thousand five hundred and forty-nine.
