Beroaldus herausgegeben." (Schweiger II.17) L'editio Beraldina (Paris, 1520) a été peu vue. Madvig la connaissait de seconde main et seul Baiter l'a utilisée. ... Le texte de Bérauld se fonde, lui aussi, sur l'édition princeps qu'il améliore légèrement. L'édition de 1520 fut largement diffusée, puisque ce fut elle que reprit Mélanchton quelques années plus tard." (Flambard, Notes sur l'histoire du texte d'Asconius à l'époque moderne, p. 388-89). ¶ Adams A. b2053.
