| Note 1 | Interesting reproduction of an old Roman calendar provided by Arias Montanus. |
| Note 2 | On 12 November 1575 Plantin told Arias Montanus that he had received from Rome in good order the letter of his friend, which included the 'figura fastorum correcta quam suo tempore conabor recudere' (Corr., V, no. 670). This means probably that Plantin had received back from Rome a corrected proofsheet of the copper engraving of the Roman calendar he had sent to his friend, and would now have the plate itself adapted before issuing the edition. If this interpretation is correct the engraving was in fact not published in 1574 but at the end of 1575 or the beginning of 1576. |
| Note 3 | A copy of the 'Kalendarium Romanum in aere incisum et ex eo impressum' was mailed to Camerarius on 4 April 1577 (Suppl. Corr., no. 135). |
| Note 4 | P. Thsaconius is to be identified with P. Ciaconius (Toledo, 1525 - Rome, 1581). Cf. a letter of Plantin to the scholar, 9 June 1576 (Corr., V, no. 729). |
