| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Second French edition of the Epitome, with 83 maps, of which 11 are new (cf. preceding no.). |
| Note 2 | This French edition was already on the market at the end of 1582, and, consequently, must have preceded the Dutch edition of 1583 (which seems to have been finished in September 1583 or shortly before). |
| Note 3 | Again, as for the French 1579-edition, Plantin seems to have taken the larger part of, if not the complete edition. Indeed, he charged Galle in 1582 at an unspecified date (but before 2 November) 'pour compte apart du Miroir du Monde' 34 florins Carolus guilders 'pour aultant qu'il doit pour l'impression', but at the same time he took from Galle 600 copies for a total value of 630 florins Carolus guilders, to be paid cash 210 florins Carolus guilders and the remaining sum from six to six months (Arch. 20, folio 129; text reproduced in Denucé, I, page 249). |
