Note 2 Very likely, as he did with the 1566 Summa doctrinae christianae-publication (no. cp012574), Plantin printed part of the edition with a title-page bearing his Antwerp imprint, another part with a title-page naming also Maternus Cholinus, Cologne, as co-publisher.
Note 3 The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, opening 107 left, gives following details about 'Parvus catechismus Canisii cum p[re]cibus horariis et Kalend.': the wages for composing and printing the quires *, A-G, were entered on 3 May 1567 for 16 florins Carolus guilders 1 stuivers (including 'et le format'). Each copy contained 4 sheets (in 16mo: 132 pages). As 2,500 copies were printed, 21 reams (including an unspecified amount for the 'imperfections') of paper 'grand carré' were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 12 stuivers per ream, came to 33 florins Carolus guilders 12 stuivers, bringing the overall costs to 49 florins Carolus guilders 13 stuivers 'qui est environ 3/8 [stuivers] ascavoir une demye blanche [la pièce]'.
Note 4 On 31 May 1567 Plantin mailed to de Cayas a number of 'livrets…par moy imprimés nouvellement', including 'un petit catéchisme avec le calendrier et precibus horariis' (Correspondance de C. Plantin, I, no. 32).
