| Note 1 | In September 1561, at the 'assemblée' of Poissy, a tentative at reconciliation of the religious parties in France by Catharina de' Medicis, French Catholics and Calvinists discussed about their religious beliefs (cf. also de Sainetes, no. 2163). In this confrontation Charles de Guise, Cardinal of Lorraine, played on the Catholic side a prominent part and delivered a much appreciated 'oraison'. |
| Note 2 | Dutch translation of the French 'oraison'. Plantin published at the same time the original French text (of which no copy is known). Cf. M 296, folio 14r: 'Orayson du Cardinal, 8º, fra[ncois], f[euilles] 4 [= meaning 64 pages], [price:] stuivers ½. Idem in duysch [= Dutch], 8º, Aº -, f[euilles] 3 [= meaning 48 pages], [price:] stuivers ½'. |
| Note 3 | In the privilege (in Dutch) (original document preserved in Arch. 1179, no. 21) the title is quoted in French ('L'oraison de monseigneur le Reuer. Cardinal de Lorraine, faicte à l'assemblée de Poyssy') and the name is given of the censor (Laureysen [Laurentius] Metsius, priest at St. Gudule, Brussels). |
| Note 4 | It may be surmised that this edition was in fact commissioned and paid for by Joachim Polytes, town clerk of Antwerp, at the request of Anton Perrenot de Granvelle, at that time Bishop of Arras (cf. de Sainctes, no. 2163). |
