Note 1 | Third Additamentum, following the same general disposition as the preceding ones. The map-sheets, however, are not numbered. Editions are also known in German (1584; see following no.), and French (1585; see no. 1827). |
Note 2 | Contains 24 map-sheets, of which 9 belonging to the 'Parergon' (= Antiquity). The index on the title-page lists only 22 titles, because the map 'Valentiae Regni' has been forgotten and the two sheets of Egypt counted for one map. Enumeration of the maps in Koeman. |
Note 3 | The sum Ortelius had to pay for printing the Additamentum is not explicitly noted in Plantin's ledger. It was very likely calculated in the price for printing the Latin Theatrum of 1584. |
Note 4 | Plantin paid Ortelius the copies of the Latin Additamentum 3 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers to 3 florins Carolus guilders 12 stuivers |
