The first edition was printed in civilitié type, a special italic typeface used for children's books. Two subsequent editions in Breton's lifetime employed roman type.Breton published the pseudo-Rabelaisian Les songes drolatiques de Pantagruel, (Paris 1565), which featured 224 fanciful grotesque figures, and was also a collaboration with François Desprez. Four illustrations from the Songes were used on a Scottish Renaissance painted ceiling at Prestongrange, in 1581.
