This edition adds a subject index and also an index of Montaigne's life tirée de ses essais which first appear in L'Angelier's edition of the same year. Some copies of the present edition bear the imprint Cologni instead of Leiden, leading Sayce & Maskell to deduce that this edition was printed at Geneva. Sayce & Maskell 12a.
