Moretus charged Galle 45 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers 'pour l'impression du Theatrum Ortelianum in epitome redactum contenant 13 f⁰ [feuilles] à rayson de 3 florins Carolus guilders 10 la feille' (Arch. 20, folio 307; text reproduced in Denucé, I, page 251). He bought, from 16 August 1589 onwards, from Galle copies at 1 florins Carolus guilders 12 stuivers a piece (cf. Denucé, I, page 252). |
