| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Maritime atlas with 5 maps and nautical descriptions of the Dutch, North-German, and West-Danish coasts between the Channel and Cape Skagen, compiled by A. Hayen. |
| Note 2 | In the dedicatory to the magistrate of the city of Amsterdam Hayen explains how the city-fathers explicitly entrusted him with the making of this work. |
| Note 3 | According to the title-page the edition was printed by Plantin in Leiden at the cost of the author, who very likely also took charge of having the maps engraved, the plates becoming his property. |
| Note 4 | As Hayen's dedicatory is dated 31 August 1585 and the privilege 12 October 1585 the work must have been realized, or in any case finished, after Plantin left Leiden for Antwerp, in the officina run at that time by his wife. |
| Note 5 | Hayen's maritime atlas was re-issued with the same maps in 1591, 1605, 1609 and 1613 (cf. Koeman, pages 221-222). |
