| Note 3 | The author took the initiative for the publication. He had the privilege put on his own name, and very likely induced Plantin to print his work by promising to take a large number of copies. In any case, he received in January 1566 400 copies for which he paid 18 florins Carolus guilders (Arch. 37, folio 31; Arch. 44, folio 8v). |
