Note 1Plantin must have printed in 1568 a Diurnale S. Crucis of which no copy is known, but which is often mentioned in his correspondence, particularly with Cardinal Granvelle.
Note 2On 17 March 1568 Plantin tells Granvelle, that, after his return from the Fairs of Frankfurt, he intends to reprint the 'Diurnal de Saincte Croix' (Suppi. Corr., no. 56; cf. also no. 59, page 79: 27 April 1568). On 26 June 1568 he affirms to have started 'l'impression du Journal de Rome en petit volume en estant importuné par plusieurs' (Ibidem, no. 68). On 16 July 1568 Granvelle warns the printer: 'Il ne fauldra pas haster l'impression du diurnal de Ste Croix, ny du breviaire, sur celluy qu'est corrigé en Espaigne, puisque j'entends de Manutio…que deans huict ou dix jours sortiront les nouveaulx breviaires, avec bulle, que cassera tous les aultres…' (Ibidem, no. 70; cf. also no. 72: 21 August 1568). By then, however, Plantin had already practically finished the printing, as in that month he tells an unknown correspondent: 'J'auray achevé aussi le Diurnale, de la correction d'Espagne, que m'a baillé ici de Portonariis en-32, dedans 15 jours' (Corr., I, no. 143). The correspondence between printer and cardinal on this particular Diurnale ends with a letter by Plantin of 14 August 1568 stating that he finished the 'Diurnale de Saincte Croix' (Corr., I, no. 152).
