Note 1 Copper engraving showing in detail the Temple at Jerusalem 'according to old descriptions by Arias Montanus'. The mention 'Ad apparatus sacri instructionem' seems to imply that the broadside was primarily intended to give supplementary (visual) information to the description (and the accompanying illustrations) as given in the 'Apparatus' of the Polyglot Bible (more specifically vol. 8).
Note 2 The illustration (without the printed explanation) has, together with other engravings from the Polyglot Bible (vol. 8) showing maps of the Holy Land and 'Jewish Antiquities', been reproduced as hors-texte in B. Arias Montanus, Antiquitatum Iudaicarum libri IX, Leiden, Officina Plantiniana apud Franciscum Raphelengium, 1593.
