Translated from Latin into French by the French Dominican, doctor in theology, Pierre Doré (in the Order of the Dominicans in 1514; licentiate at the Sorbonne in 1532; died 14 May 1569; a famous preacher and author of a great number of religious treatises, a protégé of the Guises, notably Charles de Lorraine, Cardinal and Archbishop of Reims, and his brother Louis, Bishop of Troyes).
Note 2 The Plantin-edition must have been a reprint of a publication by Nicolas Bacquenois, typographer and publisher in Reims (1552/53-1560) and Verdun (from 1560 until after 1572). Anyway, in the dedicatory N. Bacquenois tells how 'par commandement' of Renée de Lorraine he had received the Latin 'Livre de dévotion', which has now been translated into French 'par un de vos docteurs en theologie', and that 'en vous obeissant ie l'ay reimprimé en langue françoise'.
Note 3 The work figures in Plantin's ledgers as the 'Psaultier des Victorieux' or the 'Psaultier des Affligez'. The first sales are noted on 5 November 1557 (6 copies to Richard d'Estrées: Arch. 38, folio 19) and 10 November 1557 (12 copies to Vincent de la Vacquerie: Arch. 38, folio 31). Other sales are noted in 1558 (Arch. 34, folios 19, 21, 22; Arch. 38, folio 55), 1559 (Arch. 34, folios 29, 37), and 1561 (Arch. 36, folio 5).
