The short tractate De officio legati by Stephanus Doletus (Étienne Dolet) was printed by the author at his printing establishment at Lyons in 1541. All books with Dolet’s imprint are rare, many of them having been destroyed as heretical. From his press at Lyons between 1538 and 1544 proceeded 84 titles, no one library possessing more than a fraction of the total number bearing his imprint.
