We prove several evaluations of determinants of matrices, the entries of which are given by the recurrence $a_{i,j}=a_{i-1,j}+a_{i,j-1}$, or variations thereof. These evaluations were either conjectured or extend conjectures by Roland Bacher [J. Th\'eorie Nombres Bordeaux 13 (2001), to appear; see http://arxiv.org/abs/math.CO/0109013].
