| Note 1 | Plantin printed in 1569 three editions of an in 8⁰ breviary with the year 1569 on the title-page. The three copies of the in 8⁰ breviary in the Plantin-Moretus Museum are very similar but present smaller differences and are clearly set from different type compositions: they must represent each a copy of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd editions. The problem is which copy represents which edition. Copy A 1639.2 has at the end of the 'rubricae generales' an additional note missing in A 1428 'De officio parvo'. This additional note has received a rubricated caption in R 13.37. Some similar differences in the texts of 'Absolutiones' and 'Suffragia' lead also to the conclusion that A 1428 must be a copy of the 1st, A 1639.2 of the 2nd, R 13.37 of the 3rd edition. |
| Note 2 | They are the first editions of the new Roman breviary of Pope Pius V issued by Plantin: see the introduction. |
| Note 3 | The work on the first edition started in the week ending on 24 January 1569 and was finished in the week ending on 21 April 1569. The second edition started that same week and was finished in the week ending on 4 June 1569. In that week of 4 June 1569, the work on the third edition started, which got ready in the week ending on 3 September 1569 (Rooses, M. Musée Plantin-Moretus, pages 99-100; compiled from the Livre des ouvriers: Arch. 31). |
| Note 4 | To speed up the production (and to cut eventual losses when by any chance last minute changes of the text by the Roman authorities should have obliged Plantin to take the edition(s) from the market or to have the copies partially reprinted) the number of copies was restricted: 1,050 copies per edition, making 3,150 for the series. Plantin paid Paulus Manutius on 18 February 1570 for these 3,150 copies and for the 1,500 copies of an in 16mo breviary a 'dîme' ('tithe') of 225 florins Carolus guilders (Arch. 16, opening 116 left). |

Plantin, II, no. 166 (February 1569?, to a member of the Privy Council), 167 (5 February 1569, to Granvelle), 169 (26 March 1569, to Granvelle), 173 (7 May 1569, to Manutius, with details on the number of presses used), 196 (26 November 1569, to Manutius); Supplément Correspondance de C.
