| Note 1 | Plantin, when printing the special edition for the Duke of Alva (see cp011697), could have been left with a surplus of sheets with copper engraved borders, which he adapted to a 'normal' (i.e. title-page with the coat-of-arms of Philip II, and without the additional text of the Alva-edition) super de luxe-edition (= all pages within copper engraved borders). It should not be excluded, however, that he may have had the idea from the start to print some copies in this version to present or to sell them to mighty 'patroni'. It was in any case very likely such a copy that was mailed to de Çayas on 31 August 1570 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, II, no. 242: 'Horae Beatae Virginis Mariae, grandes à vignettes'). |
| Note 2 | According to Bowen, the copy in Museum Plantin-Moretus is missing the following pages (each of the first three pairs included an image): pages [111]-[112]; [177]-[178]; [191]-[192]; [305]-[320]; [427]-[430]; and [455-462]. (Bowen, Books of Hours, 228) |
| Note 3 | Bowen states that there also copies of this Horae present at KBR (LP 3007 A) and Library of Congress, Washington DC (BX2080.A2.1570; Rosenwald Coll. no. 1193). (Bowen, Books of Hours, 229) |
| Note 4 | Bowen mentions that all variants of this edition were set and printed as a single edition between 13 May and 8 July 1570. She refers to Arch. 31, folio 131 recto for payments for the setting of this Horae and to Arch. 31, folio 148 verso for payments for the printing. Furthermore Bowen adds, payments made to Mynken Liefrinck between October 1570 and March 1571 for the printing of the engravings used to to illustrate this edition are recorded in Arch. 16, opening 136 right.
