Excerpt from Antoine Vérard
The colophons of Vérard's books, though often bearing no date, afford nevertheless a clue to a Chronological Classification, on account of the variations of the address, which is nearly always given. Thus up to Oétober, 1499, he occupied an establishment on the Pont Notre Dame and a Shop in the Sainte Chapelle. The bridge collapsed on Oétober 25th, 1499, whereupon, still keeping his second establishment, Vérard changed his first to an address which appears variously as Pres Petit Pont, rue Saint Jacques pres Petit Pont, Carrefour saint-severin, Petit Pont pres du Carrefour saint-severin, and Petit Pont devant la rue Notre Dame. It has been generally supposed that the address Carrefour S. Severin represents a separate and earlier establishment, which was only used till September, 1500, but this con¿iéts with the colophon of a Harm (no. Which bears the date August 18th, 1502, and the address Carrefour Saint Severin. Vérard's next move was in September, 1503, to an address which generally appears under the form devant la rue Neuve Notre Dame, but is also described as devant la grande église Notre Dame, Pres l'ostel Dieu devant la rue Neuve Notre Dame, and Devant Notre Dame. The Froissart of 1518 [no. Published by Ve'rard's successors, gives the alternative forms devant la rue Neuve Notre Dame and rue de la Juiverie.
