| Note 1 | On 21 January 1573 Plantin told de Çayas that within three weeks he would have finished 'los Missales in quarto' (Corr., III, no. 455). The printer was somewhat more prudent when in his letter of 7 February 1573 he states that '(together with a breviary in 8⁰ and 'les grandes heures') [seront achevées] le petit missal in 4⁰ dedans peu de semaines après pourveu que les tailleurs des images ne nous retardent comme jà ils ont faict par cy devant que je crains grandement' (Ibidem, no. 462). According to the colophon the printing was actually finished on 20 March 1573. Consequently, on 8 April 1573 Plantin could announce to de Villalva that the missal in 4⁰ had been completed (Ibidem, no. 468). |
| Note 2 | On 6 April 1573 were shipped to Spain 1,000 copies of 'Missalia Romana ad usum hispan[icum], 4⁰, petite forme', of which 825 'sine cruce aenea' and 175 'cum cruce aenea' (Arch. 22, folios 17v-18r; values not noted). Cf. Plantin's letter to de Villalva, 19-25 April 1573 (Corr., III, no. 472). |
| Note 3 | A number of imperfect copies were retained by Plantin at Antwerp. As he affirms in his letter to de Villalva of 2 July 1573: 105 copies, which by now had been completed and would be shipped at the earliest occasion (Corr., IV, no. 479). They were indeed sent on 27 August 1573, not 105 copies, but 88 'ad usum hispan[icum] du commun papier petits 4⁰', worth 1 florins Carolus guilders 15 stuivers a piece (Arch. 22). |
| Note 4 | It is perhaps this edition (or the one described in following no.) which is listed in Arch. 296, folio 11v ([Missale Rom.] Idem in 4⁰ petit maioris ch[arta], [price:] flor. 2, f[euilles]- -; Idem in 4⁰ petit com[mun], [price:] flor. 1 stuivers 16, f[euilles] --). |
