| Note 1 | First edition of Alciatus's emblems edited and commented by Claudius Minos (Mignaut or Mignault), professor in canonic law at Paris (Talant near Dyon, about 1536 - Paris, 1606). The comments of Stockhamerus have been dropped. |
| Note 2 | The general disposition is the same as in the emblem-editions commented by Stockhamerus: heading, woodcut-illustration (when available), poem by Alciatus (in italic type), comment (in roman type). But Mignaut made one book of the two 'libri' and changed the order of the emblems. There are 197 emblems, followed by a section on trees (Arbores), numbered 198-213. |
| Note 3 | The number of illustrations have been augmented to 169, the new ones in the same style as the older ones. This means that there are still 28 emblems and the 15 emblems of the tree-section not yet illustrated. |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 164, folio 10 verso, and M 296, folio 5 verso (Eadem [Emblemata Alciati] cum com[mentario] novo And. Minois 16⁰, a⁰ 73, f[euilles] 18½, [price:] stuivers 4). |
