Note 1 Contains the Novellae constitutiones, edited by L. Charondas: a) Greek text with Latin translation (as stated in the foreword: in imitation of the Greek-Latin edition of Antonius Contius, Charondas followed an ancient Latin translation, adding some remarks and ‘re-establishing’ three ‘constitutiones’ after P. Pithoeus); b) Latin translation as made by Georgius Haloandrus and followed by L. Russardus and F. Duarenus (as also explained by Charondas in the foreword).

Note 1 Contains: a) the Edicta of Justinianus and later Eastern Roman emperors in Greek with Latin translation (pages 2-102); b) the Feudorum libri II (pages 103-122), with additional edicts of medieval emperors (Frederick II, Henry VII; Peace of Constance) (pages 122-126).
Note 2 Very likely the editor followed for the Edicts of Emperors Justinianus, Justinus, and Tiberius, the edition of H. Scringerus, Geneva, Henricus Stephanus, 1558. For the Edicts of the later emperors (from Leo) his model was in any case the edition of Henricus Agylaeus, Geneva, Henricus Stephanus, 1560, of which the dedicatory to William, Prince of Orange, dated 1 April 1560, is even inserted in this publication (page 25).

Note 1 Contains the Institutionum libri IIII. As Charondas explains in the foreword he followed for this edition not only the texts as published by Contius and Russardus, but used also a number of manuscripts, in principal order one ‘ex Dionysiana bibliotheca’.
Note 1 This monumental edition of the Corpus iuris civilis is in fact formed by two separate series: A. The edition ‘cum glossis’, reprinted from similar Paris- or Lyons-publications, and consisting of the Pandectae in three volumes, the first part of the Ex repetita praelectione, the second part of the Ex repetita praelectione together with the Novellae of Justinianus and later edicts, and the Institutionum libri quatuor; B. The edition by L. Charondas, without glosses, and consisting of the Pandectae in one volume, the Ex repetita praelectione, the Novellae, the later Edicts of Justinianus and his successors, the Institutionum libri IIII. The ‘Chartarum ordo’ in the last volume refers only to this series.
Note 2 The A-series was published by Plantin in cooperation with Philippus Nutius. Part of the edition received even title-pages with Nutius’s imprint (no copy known for vol. I, but its existence very likely). The colophon of the second volume of the Pandectae bearing Plantin’s imprint states that it was printed ‘at the expenses’ of Plantin by Joannes Withagius (Verwithagen). The initials and ornamentation used in the other volumes make it clear that in fact the whole A-series must have been printed by this Antwerp typographer, who often worked for Plantin. The dealings with Nutius are detailed in Arch. 19, folio 50: of the 1,500 copies printed of the ‘Corpus Civile cum glossis’ 500 copies were ceded to Nutius, for a total sum of 2,092 florins Carolus guilders 9½ stuivers (representing the additional sum owed to Plantin by Nutius; the latter must have paid directly some other bills [probably to the supplier(s) of paper]; entered in the ledger on 23 March 1576). Nutius postponed to pay the last 900 florins Carolus guilders he owed Plantin ‘pour quelques defects dudit cours qu’il disoit luy defaillir encore’, until ‘lesquels on a imprimées et delivrées audit Nutius à son contentement’ (probably the sheets with Nutius’s imprint) — then he paid, on 15 June 1576. Another important customer was Petrus Bellerus (Arch. 19, folio 63), who took 250 copies of the ‘Corpus Civile cum glossis’ for the sum of 2,041 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers (detailed as follows: 1,361 sheets per copy, making 680½ reams of paper, at 3 florins Carolus guilders per ream). The entry is entered in the ledger on 2 May 1576. This could mean that this A-series was in fact not finished and brought on the market in 1575 but in 1576. Listed in M 296, folio 3r (Corpus Civile in f⁰ cum glossis [price:] florins Carolus guilders 18, f[euilles] —), and M 164, folio 6r. The same sale’s price of 18 florins Carolus guilders is given in a letter of Jan Moretus, September 1578 (Corr., VI, no. 807).
Note 3 If the A-series seems to have been a joint publishing-venture, the B-series was solely Plantin’s concern. In his dedicatory to the governor and the magistrate of Antwerp, 5 March 1575, and in Charondas’s foreword to the reader, 1 January 1572, both in the preliminary parts of the first volume, some interesting details are given about the genesis of the work. Plantin’s 1567-edition of the Corpus iuris civilis met such a success that it was sold out within a year. The work on the Polyglot Bible forbade Plantin for some time to embark on another great typographical enterprise, but finally he could think about a re-edition of the Corpus. Always trying to give the best, the archtypographer intended to improve upon his 1567-edition. He hesitated for some time how to proceed till he received a letter from Charondas proposing a revised version of Duarenus’s work; an offer Plantin gladly accepted. As Charondas’s foreword is dated 1 January 1572 it may be supposed that the transactions between editor and typographer started as early as 1571. The printing began in the beginning of 1574 (or the end of 1573): in a number of letters of 1574 Plantin is referring to the fact that he has the Corpus iuris civilis of Charondas on his presses (Corr., IV, no. 513: 6 February 1574; no. 541: 11 July 1574, working with two presses on the project; no. 570: 15 October 1574; no. 571: 20 October 1574). On 31 October 1574 the printer asks Charondas to send him the dedicatory to the Pandectae, stating at the same time that he hopes to finish the whole work in January 1575 in order to be able to ship copies to the Lent Frankfurt Fair (Corr., IV, no. 579). Plantin could stick very closely to his schedule: in a letter of 21 January 1575 to the Lyons bookseller Jehan Mareschal he explains that only the Indices and the first sheets (of the first volume) remain to be printed, which he hopes to achieve the same month (Corr., IV, no. 605). However, there must have been another delay, as the colophon at the end of the last volume specifies that it was only finished on 17 March 1575. An important customer was again Petrus Bellerus who took 250 copies for a sum of 883 florins Carolus guilders 15 stuivers (specified as follows: at 505 sheets per copy these 250 copies amounted to 252½ reams of paper, counted at 3 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers per ream) (Arch. 19, folio 63: 28 April 1575). The Antwerp City Magistrate awarded Plantin for his dedicatory and for the presentation of a copy a gilded silver cup worth 100 golden crowns on 24 March 1574 (o.s. = 1575) (cf. Bulletijn van de Maatschappij der Antwerpsche Bibliophilen, I, 1882, pages 117-118), but the printer never received this gift as Jan Moretus with some regret notes on 2 January 1579 (Arch. 18, folio 310).
Note 4 Listed in M 296, folio 3r (Corpus civile in f⁰ textus, a⁰ 1575, [price:] florins Carolus guilders 7; f[euilles] 504), and M 164, folio 6r.
