| Note 1 | Treatise on the church ritual (editio princeps) edited by Jacobus Pamelius (= his first publication). |
| Note 2 | In the note to the reader, Pamelius explains how looking for manuscripts of Hrabanus Maurus (died 856), he obtained from the library of the Abbey of Sept-Fonts (Allier) a 'Micrologus de ecclesiasticis observationibus' attributed to the scholar. Internal criticism soon taught him that the text had to be posterior to the Carolingian theologian as it mentions Pope Gregorius VII (1073-1085), Archbishop Amalarius of Trier and Anselmus of Lucca, who lived several centuries later (the treatise is now considered to be the work of Bernold of Constance, monk at the Abbey of St. Blasien, died 1100: cf. Biographie Nationale [de Belgique], 16, 1901, Column 529; a thesis already advanced in Pamelius's time, and noted by the scholar in his introduction). As the Council of Trente had decided to appoint a commission for the reformation of the breviary and missal and the unification of the church rites, Pamelius found it interesting to publish this old manuscript bearing on the subject. |
| Note 3 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 74, gives the following details about 'Micrologus de observat. Ecclesiast.': the wages for composing and printing quires B-E are entered on 24 February 1565 and for quires F-I on 10 March 1565; they amount together to 8 florins Carolus guilders 15 stuivers (nothing is said about quire A, which must have been overlooked). As 800 copies were printed, 15 reams of paper 'petit bastard' were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 4 stuivers per ream, came to 18 florins Carolus guilders, bringing the overall costs to 26 florins Carolus guilders 15 stuivers |
| Note 4 | Plantin in his letter of 26 February 1565 tells Andreas Masius that he is printing the 'Micrologus' (Corr., III, no. 333). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 11v (Micrologus de observat. ecclesiast. in 8⁰ p[er] Jacobum Pamelium, in 8⁰, a⁰ -, f[euilles] 8½, [price:] stuivers 1½). |
