Note: There is a close engraving of the same subject by Jacques Granthomme (b. 1560?) . Yet, the Cool engraving shows the lion's paw on the desk, the same width and drop of the bookmark, and the same book covers at the back of the saint as the feather mosaic. The Granthomme engraving shows none of this.
