| Note 1 | Ordinance of Philip II, Royal Library of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, 8 October 1586, detailing how letters have to be addressed (to the king, to members of the royal family, to ecclesiastical and civil dignitaries, etc., and even to ordinary citizens) and restricting the use of crowns upon coats-of-arms to the higher nobility. |
| Note 2 | According to the title-page a reprint of the publication printed in Madrid by Pedro Madrigal, 1586. |
| Note 3 | Plantin must have received the instruction (or the 'suggestion') to print the ordinance directly from Madrid, more especially from de Çayas, the secretary of Philip II. In his letter of 25 December 1586 he stated having received on 12 December the letter of de Çayas of 16 October containing, among others, l'exemplaire…de la Pragmatica', of which he had now already sent 4 copies to Garnier, the secretary of the King in Brussels, to be forwarded to de Çayas, and other copies as well for Arias Montanus and de Tisnacq (Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1181; cf. Plantin's letter to Garnier, 16 December 1586 [Ibidem, no. 1178]: had sent 50 copies of the Pragmatica 'dont je vous supplie d'envoyer à Monsr. Cayas tel nombre qu'il vous plaira'). |
