| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Narrative of the taking by the army of Charles V of the French cities Thérouanne (20 June 1553) and Hesdin (18 July 1553), and of the victory of the imperial army at the battle of Renty, 13 August 1554. |
| Note 2 | As specified on the title-page this French exposition was translated from a Latin original. Plantin's Antwerp colleague, Joannes Bellerus, published in 1555 the Latin text (a copy in KBR Royal Library of Belgium). It is not clear if the translation, either by Plantin himself or by a translator he commissioned, has been made from Bellerus's publication or from a manuscript Plantin was able to obtain. |
| Note 3 | The note of the printer to the reader does not give details about the work or its genesis, but it is interesting for French linguistics as Plantin tries to explain the for that time somewhat revolutionary and in any case simplified orthography of the French language he uses in his translation. |
| Note 4 | 25 copies of 'Terouanne' were forwarded to the Antwerp bookseller Guillaume Symon on 22 July 1555 (Arch. 38, folio 7 verso), and another 25 copies, worth 6 stuivers, to Martin Nutz (Nutius) on 9 August 1555 (Arch. 38, folio 4 verso). |
| Note 5 | Not listed in M 296 or M 164. |
