Frequently, however, it is specified on these title-pages or in these headings that the treatise or text-edition belong to the Apparatus. |
| Note 2 | The order followed in the subsequent descriptions is that given in the Ordo Librorum in the introductory part of volume I. This order can have been changed when the sheets were gathered or by the binder, and, eventually, in some copies a treatise may even have been dropped. |
| Note 3 | In April 1572 Plantin had already finished some parts of the Apparatus but a substantial part remained to be printed when the political horizon suddenly clouded. The archtypographer printed only 600 copies (instead of 1,200) of these parts. Perhaps some type-compositions (with Oriental or Greek type not frequently used) remained standing, but the type of a great number of treatises was redistributed. When the political climate improved, Plantin had these treatises reset and the 600 remaining copies reprinted. The operation started late in July 1572 and ended in August 1573. This means that a number of treatises of the different volumes of the Apparatus are found in two versions. In the following descriptions version A stands for the original version, version B for the reset version, and A-B for a text, which, as far as could be detected, was either printed in 1,200 copies before April 1572 or had the last 600 copies reprinted from the original type which had remained standing. Occasionally, and more especially for the copies sold by Plantin (or his successors) in later years, it occurred that, when bringing the sheets together, mistakes were made and that one or more treatises in version B were bound into a volume in which the version A is predominant or vice-versa. |

| Note 1 | This Hebrew grammar and dictionary were compiled, after the edition of Santes Pagninus, by F. Raphelengius (cf. cp012200). Version A was composed and printed between August 1571 and 22 March 1572 (Rooses, Musée Plantin-Moretus, page 78). Version B was started on 28 July 1572. |
| Note 2 | The first part, including the title-page (pages [1-24]), is the same in both versions. It is, consequently, very difficult to specify which of the remaining part belongs to version A and which to version B. The principal difference is that in one version the dictionary is printed on three columns and in the other on two columns. As in the other parts of vol. 6 the treatises on three columns belong to version A and those on two columns to version B, it may be assumed that this was also the case for the Hebrew dictionary. This means that in the Museum Plantin-Moretus-copies the version A has been gathered into a volume which otherwise has only version B - texts, and vice-versa. |

| Note 1 | The Old Testament in Hebrew with interlinear Latin translation (adapted from the editions of Santes Pagninus by B. Arias Montanus, F. Raphelengius and the brothers Le Fèvre de la Boderie) and the New Testament in Greek with interlinear Latin translation forming together a Bible in the original languages with their literal Latin translations. These texts differ somewhat from the ones given in volumes 1-5 (cf. Darlow-Moule, no. 4637, for the Greek New Testament). |
| Note 2 | In the Ordo Librorum in the introductory part of volume I, this Bible-edition is given as volume 7. In the catalogues (M 164 and M 296), however, it is listed as volume 6. In the Ordo Librorum is mentioned as forming part of volume 7 the Hebraicorum idiotismorum librum. In the catalogues (M 164 and M 296), this Idiotismi is specified to be the first treatise of volume 8, and, in fact, in the different copies of the Polyglot Bible in Museum Plantin-Moretus this treatise appears as the first part of volume. 8. Very probably after the printing of the Ordo librorum the editors changed their mind: they made of the Bible in Hebrew and Greek an edition confined to these texts (by dropping the Idiotismi) and changed it from volume 7 into volume 6. |
| Note 3 | The dropping of the Idiotismi was very likely dictated by the fact that it was decided to print an extra number of copies of the Bible-volume and to sell them separately: see cp012166. |

As A 5 contains nearly exclusively version A-texts and B 65 version B-texts, it may be assumed that this is also the case for this particular treatise. |

| Note 1 | The texts have been set twice. There are no external clues to decide which is version A and which is version B. However, as in all the other treatises belonging to version B there is a very marked tendency to gain pages (and paper) by making the type-disposition more compact, it may be accepted that the text in B 65 represents version B and the one in A 5 version A. |

| Note 1 | Plantin's Polyglot Bible in five languages (Latin, Greek, Hebrew, 'Chaldaic' [= Aramaic], and Syriac) and eight volumes may considered to be the largest typographical enterprise of the 16th century. A general survey on the genesis of the work, its characteristics and its importance in the general context of the Plantin Press in L. Voet, The Golden Compasses, I, pages 60-64. See also by L. Voet: De Polyglot-Bijbel: de geschiedenis van een reuzenonderneming (catalogue of the exhibition in Museum Plantin-Moretus, 14 July - 30 September 1972), and 'De Antwerpse Polyglot-Bijbel' in Noordgouw, Cultureel Tijdschrift van de Provincie Antwerpen, 1973, pages 33-52; and Federico Perez Castro - L. Voet, La Biblia Poliglota de Amberes, Madrid, Fundacion Universitaria Espanola, 1973 (French and Spanish translation). Some additional details in L. Voet, The Golden Compasses, II, pages 36, 42, 46, 246, 250, 251, 288, 316. The most fundamental study, referring to the Plantinian archives, remains M. Rooses, 'Plantijns Koninklijke Bijbel. Geschiedenis van een boek in de XVIe eeuw' in De Gids, 3, 1880, pages 238-278; retaken, with corrections and additions, in Le Musée, pages 71-93. Cf. also T.

| Note 2 | Plantin's Polyglot Bible, also known as the Royal Polyglot or the Antwerp Polyglot, is the second of the great Polyglots. Its model was the first - the Complutensian or Ximenes - Polyglot (Alcala de Henares, 1514-1517, 6 vols.), but with many corrections, the addition of the Syriac text and the numerous treatises of the Apparatus. The main sources are described by Darlow-Moule, no. 1422, as follows: the Hebrew text was taken from the Complutensian Polyglot but collated with Bomberg's [= van Bomberghen's] Venice edition. The 'Chaldaic' (= Aramaic) text in the Pentateuch was printed from the Complutensian; in the remaining books it was taken from Bomberg compared with the manuscripts deposited by Ximenes at Alcala. The Greek text followed the Complutensian, corrected by the Aldine edition. The Syriac text was based on Widmanstadius's edition (Vienna, 1555) compared with a manuscript supplied by D. Bomberg [= Daniel van Bomberghen] from Cologne. Besides these main sources, the editors consulted many manuscripts, printed books, collations, and notes, supplied by various scholars. Cf. also C. de Clercq, op. cit., pages 164-165. |
| Note 3 | Benedictus Arias Montanus was the leading force of the gigantic enterprise. His principal assistants were Franciscus Raphelengius, Plantin's son-in-law, and Guido Fabricius Boderianus (Guy Le Fèvre de la Boderie), who, like Arias, were also specialized in Oriental languages. He was further assisted by Guido's brother, Nicolas Le Fèvre de la Boderie, and by Plantin's proof-readers, Cornelis Kilianus, Theodoor Kemp and Antoon Spitaels. Theologians of the University of Louvain - Augustinus Hunnaeus, Joannes Harlemius and Cornelius Reyneri Goudanus - were very helpful in verifying promptly the sheets and giving their approbationes in due time. A large number of the text-editions and treatises in the three volumes of the Apparatus were edited or written by Arias Montanus, others by F. Raphelengius and G. Le Fèvre. Some other scholars - Andreas Masius, Guilielmus Canterus, Cardinal Sirlet - made also contributions. Finally, some appendices were reprinted without much changes from older editions. In the introductory part of volume I Arias Montanus enumerates all these scholars and thanks also a number of other specialists or maecenases who had helped him in one way or another, by collating texts, lending manuscripts or simply by giving him their moral support. |
| Note 4 | Arias Montanus arrived in Antwerp on 18 May 1568 and started immediately with the work. On 17 July 1568 a proofsheet was made, which received Arias's approval. In the week of 2-7 August 1568 the first sheets of the first quires of the first volume were printed. This first volume was achieved on 12 March 1569. That is the text proper (pages 1-744). The introductory part (pages [1-108]) can only have been finished in the beginning of 1573, as it contains the privileges of which the last ones (for Castile and Aragon) were only granted in February 1573. The second volume started on 12 March 1569 and was finished in mid-October of that year. The dates of the following volumes run as follows: third volume, mid-October 1569-8 July 1570; fourth volume, beginning of January 1570-23 June 1570; fifth volume, 3-8 July 1570-9 February 1571. The Hebrew and Greek Bible of volume 7 was started on 5 November 1569 and achieved on 7 December 1571. The work at the volumes 6 and 8 and part of volume 7 is somewhat more difficult te follow. A large number of these treatises where not yet finished when in April 1572 the revolt of Zeeland and Holland obscured the political situation. When on 9 June 1572 Plantin wrote to Arias Montanus, then in Rome, 'Nos, laus Deo, omnia absolvimus quae ad Biblia regia pertinent' he made in fact an overstatement: of the treatises not yet finished in April 1572 he had only printed 600 copies, instead of 1,200. When later in the year the situation improved, he had these treatises reset and reprinted. This operation started late in July 1572 and was only finished in August 1573 (for more details see the descriptions of volumes 6, 7, 8). The introductory part of the first volume must likely have been printed in the first half of 1573. |
| Note 5 | Of the Polyglot Bible 1,213 copies were printed: 13 on vellum, 10 on 'grand papier impérial d'Italie' (sold 200 florins Carolus guilders), 30 on 'papier impérial à l'aigle' (sold 100 florins Carolus guilders), 200 on 'papier fin royal au raisin' of Lyons (sold 80 florins Carolus guilders), and 960 on 'papier grand royal de Troyes' (sold 70 florins Carolus guilders; 60 florins Carolus guilders to booksellers). The copies on vellum were specially ordered and distributed by Philip II (owing to the political and economical difficulties of the moment, only the first 5 volumes of each set were in fact printed on vellum). About these copies on vellum (and their actual finding-places) and the sale of Polyglot Bibles by Plantin: Rooses, Musée Plantin-Moretus, pages 86-89. |
| Note 6 | Listed in M 164, folio 4 recto, and M 296, folio 2 recto: Biblia Sacra quatuor linguarum quȩ Regia vocamus cum apparatu continent 8 voll.ạ taxata flor. 70, bibliopolȩ florins Carolus guilders 60.

| Note 7 | Of volume 7 copies were sold separately. In M 164, folio 4 recto, and M 296, folio 2 recto, is listed 'Biblia S. cum versione S. Pagnini interlineari in f⁰, Anno 1572, f[euilles] 209, [price:] flor. 10'. The description fits volume 7 (= in the description in M 164 and M 296 given as volume 6). Moreover, copies of this volume can be found separately in libraries, some even with a special title-page making of them a 'separate' edition (see cp012166). |
| Note 8 | Volume 6 as such, and parts of it, must likewise have been marketed separately, but, as far as we could find out, without special title-pages. The annotation in M 296, folio 10 verso 'Lexicon grȩcum cum aliis dictionariis heb. chaldaicis etc. in f⁰ pro bibliis Regiis separ[atim] co[mmun] pap[ier], [price:] flor. 7, Ann⁰ 1573, f[euilles] -' refers certainly to this volume (a copy in Heidelberg University Library and Ghent University Library). Parts of it could and were eventually sold also separately. Among them certainly the Thesaurus Hebraicae linguae of S. Pagninus (volume VI, 5) (cf. the remarks of Plantin in his introduction to the 1578 edition in 8⁰ of the Epitome thesauri linguae sanctae: no. 1864; a copy in UL Montauban), the Grammatica linguae Syriacae of Andreas Masius (volume VI, 3) (a copy in Heidelberg University Library, Q 3561), and the Lexicon Graecum (volume VI, 1). On the latter, cf. the revealing letter of M. Sonnius, the Paris bookseller, to Plantin, 3 October 1578 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, VI, no. 811): '…lesquelz vous prie m'envoijer, aussi de cinq Lexicon pro bibliis qui sont audict inventaire a 7 florins Carolus guilders n'ay receu que Lexicon grecum, desquelz avoijs vendu ung ses jours passés bien relié, pensant que tout y fut mais m'a este rapporté, a cause que son compagnon avoijt achepté ung aultre entier de Compere Gilles Beijs. Pourquoy vous prie n'oblier à m'envoyer le reste, qui est le tout excepté le grec, aussi avons trouvé des Lexicon grecum d'avantaige apart quy sont avecque vostre bible'. As late as 1578 Plantin was thus busy selling volume 6 of the Polyglot Bible, and parts of it, separately. |
