Note 1 Religious-philosophical treatise on the tranquillity of the soul.
Note 2 Probably a reprint of the edition published with the same title at Alcala, Juan de Brocar, 1541 (mentioned by Palau y Dulcet, 5, page 513).
Note 3 The author, presenting himself as professor of Latin at Avila and 'capellan' of the Marquis de las Navas, dedicated his work to the said Marquis. The Marquis de las Navas was in 1555-1556 in the Netherlands, as a follower of Philip II, and had some contacts with Plantin. It may, consequently, be surmised that the Marquis induced Plantin to reprint the work of his protégé which by then must have been out of print.
Note 4 Plantin sold in 1556 a number of copies of the 'Sossiego del anima, espagnol' to French colleagues (12 October 1556, 6 copies to Martin le Jeune, Paris: 6 stuivers, and 6 copies to Arnould l'Angelier, Paris: 6 stuivers; 9 November 1556, 6 copies to Jehan Mallet, Rouen: 9 stuivers; 14 November 1556, 12 copies to Arnould l'Angelier, Paris: 12 stuivers Cf. Arch. 34, pages 5, 6, 9, 11). Other copies were sold in 1557 (1, worth 4 stuivers, to Pero Junches (?) d'Arellano, capellan du Roy, on 8 May 1557; 2 to Christoval de Hierros on 10 May 1557; and 1 'Missa, Sossiego et Confessionario r[eliês] ensemble' to Martin Nutius on 5 August 1557. Cf. Arch. 38, folios 82 verso, 85, and 85bis), and 1558 (3, worth 2½ stuivers, to Robert d'Wal on 19 January 1558: Arch. 35, folio 7; 12, worth 12 stuivers, to Joannes Steelsius on 14 March 1558: Arch. 38, folio 55).
