Note 1 M 296, folio 5r, lists 'Divine Philosophie de Vives, a⁰ 1577, [price:] stuivers ¾, f[euilles] 7'. This entry is repeated in M 296, folio 15r (Philosophie de Vives…), and in M 164, folio 10r. No copy known.
Note 2 French translation from Vives's Ad veram sapientiam introductio (first edition of the Latin text: Basel, 1539; cf. Palau y Dulcet, 27, page 405). First French edition, with the title Introduction à vraye sapience, at Paris, Charles l'Angelier, 1548. An edition with the title Traité du vrai amour de sagesse divine, introduction à la sagesse, traduict du latin [par Guillaume Paradin], Lyons, Maurice Roy et Loys Pesnot, 1550. Followed by a series with the title Divine Philosophie de Vives, traduicte en vulgaire françoys par maistre Guillaume Paradin: Paris, Jehan Ruelle (imprimé par Jehan Amazeur), 1552; Antwerp, imprimé par Jehan Loë, pour Jehan Monsieur et Laurent L'Enfant, libraires à Mons, Haynault, 1553; Paris, imprimé par Jehan Ruelle, 1553 (cf. Palau y Dulcet, 27, page 409). Plantin's publication is very likely a reprint of one of the editions showing the title Divine Philosophie.
