| Note 1 | Collection of prayers. |
| Note 2 | The same year Plantin published a Hortulus animae ad usum Leodiensis (see cp013384). The Hortulus animae ad usum Romanum gives practically the same prayers in the same order and uses many of the same woodcut-illustrations, but the text itself is clearly completely reset. |
