Note 1 | Jean Scheyfve (born c. 1515 in Antwerp; died there, 17 June 1581) was from 1557 until 1579 chancellor of the Council of Brabant; he joined in 1576 the party of the States-General. Offended by passages in intercepted letters of Cardinal Granvelle on his person and activities, in this pamphlet Scheyfve reacts to some of them. One of the epistles was a recent letter, which very probably provoked the former chancellor to publish his 'answer'; the two other letters were already some four years old. |
Note 2 | Contains: pages [3-10]: Answer to a letter from Granvelle to Maximilian Morillon, vicar-general of the archbishopric of Malines (6 July 1580); [11-18]: Answer to a letter to the same (25 August 1576); [19-35]: Answer to a letter to the late Joachim Hopperus (26 August 1576). |
Note 3 | Like for other pamphlets vilipending Granvelle he was obliged to print in those years, Plantin preferred to remain under cover and to give the name of one of his employees as the responsible printer and publisher (cf. Rooses, Musée, pages 166 and 202). |
