| Note 4 | According to the colophon the printing was finished in March 1567. |
| Note 5 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 115, gives the following details about 'De reb. flandriae memorab. Marchantii': the wages for composing and printing are entered on 1 March 1567 and amount to 9 florins Carolus guilders As each copy contains 5½ sheets and as 800 copies were printed, 10 reams (including the 'imperfections') of paper 'à la grande coronne' were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 2 stuivers per ream, came to 11 florins Carolus guilders, bringing the overall costs to 20 florins Carolus guilders 'which means ½ stuivers a copy'. |
