| Note 2 | On 28 February 1587 Plantin wrote to Jacques de Witte, secretary to the Council of Brabant, that he had received on 29 January the letter announcing the mailing of the 'acte du Privilege'. But the deed had not yet arrived: 'et maintenant me seroit il necessaire d'avoir la datte dudict acte et taxe de l'amende contenue contre quiconques les contreferoit pour le declarer au livret Meditationum de Passione Domini du Rev. Pere Costerus lequel est acheve d'imprimer jusques a la derniere demye feille ou doibt estre mis le sommaire dudict Privilege'. Plantin, consequently, asked urgently for these data (Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1215). |
| Note 3 | To the Jesuit College at Douai were shipped, at the request of Costerus, on 13 March 1587, 200 copies of Meditationes in Passionem, 16⁰, worth, 'avec les despens', 45 florins Carolus guilders 14 stuivers (Arch. 20, folio 21). They were, however, considered to be a gift to Costerus and had not to be paid (Arch. 20, folio 321; cf. for more details, no. 1040). |
| Note 4 | A copy was mailed on 3 April 1587 to Franciscus Maugre, canon at Arras (Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1238). |
