141In Hans Jakob Fugger’s Service Antiquarian studies in Lyon were not limited to local finds—such as the Table Claudienne, found in 1528 and first published by Symphorien Champier in 1537 [Fig. 3.51]—or even to local topics: thus the poet François Rabelais interest- ed himself in Roman topography.61 In 1553 the marchand-libraire Guillaume Rouillé even published a chronicle of the world organized around a series of woodcut portraits of its protagonists that, he claimed, were taken from ancient coins. This cannot always have been the case, considering that these portraits include Adam and Eve, Noah, Osiris, Agamemnon and other personalities for whom such authentic sources would not have been available. This did not prevent this Promptuaire des médalles des plus renommées personnes qui ont esté despuis le commencement du monde to become a success: first printed in 1553, it ran through no less than eleven editions—in French, Latin, Italian and Spanish—before the end of the century [Figs. 3.52–3.54].62 61 Bruyère 1993, p. 100; Cooper 1988, pp. 168–169; Rabelais published an edition of Marliani’s Topographia antiquae Romae, printed by Gryphius in Lyon in 1534. 62 On Rouillé’s Promptuaire des médalles des plus renommées personnes qui ont esté depuis le commencement du monde, Lyon 1553, see Dimier 1924–1926, i, pp. 84 ff.; Clain-Stefanelli 1965, p. 17; Rave 1959; Haskell 1993, pp. 30–32 and passim; its text was compiled by the Lyon humanist Charles Fontaine and its illustrations provided by Georges Reverdy.
