| Note 1 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 77 verso, gives the following details about 'Horae Latine in 12': the wages for composing and printing the quires A-Z, a-f, are antered from 4 March until 7 July 1565, and amount to 36 florins Carolus guilders 8 stuivers Each copy contains 20 sheets; 1,000 copies were printed, needing 42 reams of 'papier petit bastard', which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 7 stuivers per ream, came to 57 florins Carolus guilders 14 stuivers, bringing the overall costs to 94 florins Carolus guilders 2 stuivers It may be supposed that the larger part was intended for the Parisian bookseller Lucas Brayer, as it is noted: 'Le 18 May [1565] respondu à Lucas Brayer que la rame vaudra 4 lb. [d'Artois?]'. |
| Note 2 | It is probably this edition to which is referred in M 296, folio 8 verso: '[Horae Rom.] In 12º lat., f[euilles] 20, [price:] stuivers 7'. |
| Note 3 | Copies of 'Heures in-12º' were mailed to de Çayas (letter of Plantin, 15 February 1567: Correspondance de C. Plantin, I, no. 22). |
| Note 4 | Bowen gives [π]8 A-Z8, a-f8 as a possible collation (Bowen, Books of Hours, 222) |
| Note 5 | According to Bowen, this edition was set and printed along with cp011137 between 4 March and 7 July 1565. Bowens suggested collation is derived for the printing records and is identical to that of cp011137. For payments for the setting of this Horae see Arch. 31, folio 21 recto. For payments for the printnig see Arch. 31, folio 28 recto and 10 recto. The printing of this Horae is also confirmed by records in Arch. 4, folio 77 verso, and in all of the entries in Arch. 3 listed above for the printing of cp011137 except for folio 30 recto. (Bowen, Book of Hours, 222-3) |
