This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to quote John Florio's 1603 English translation of Michel de Montaigne's work Essayes. It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

If the above edition is difficult to search, try searching this 1613 version of the work from Google Books.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1=, |book=, or |volume= – the book of the work quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals, from |book=I to |book=III. This parameter may be omitted if the page number is specified.
• |2= or |chapter= – the name of the chapter quoted from (preferably), or the chapter number. If quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:

As the three epistles and "To the Curteous Reader" are unpaginated, use |3= or |page= to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/essayesormorallp00mont/page/n12/mode/1up, specify |page=12. (The other chapters above are also unpaginated, but the template can determine the URL.)

• |3= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last page number of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=10–11.
  • You must also use |pageref= to indicate the page to be linked to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |4=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
