Note 1 Spanish translation of Cicero's four Orationes contra Catilinam.
Note 2 In the dedicatory the Spanish physician Andres de Laguna explains that he made this translation at Brussels in the winter of 1556-57 'para recrear el animo afflicto'. The dedicatory itself is dated from Antwerp. It may be assumed that the translator contacted personally Plantin to have his work printed.
Note 3 Plantin shipped a number of 'Oraisons (or Orationes) de Cicero contra Catilina' to France and Germany in February-March 1558: 40 copies to Paris, worth 1 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers, on 11 February (Arch. 34, folio 19r), 36 to the widow l'Angelier, Paris, worth 1 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers, on the same day (Arch. 34, folio 21r), and 50 to the Frankfurt Fair, worth 2 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers, on 11 March (Arch. 34, folio 22v).
