| Note 1 | No mention is made in Plantin's correspondence and catalogues of this edition. No copies seem to have been shipped to Spain. |
| Note 2 | Karen Lee Bowen found no data regarding the setting or the printing of this edition in Plantin’s record books. She states that although the Amsterdam copy is illustrated with woodcuts, payments made to Mynken Liefrinck in October 1574 for the printing and engraving for “cleyn” and “petites”[i.e., small] books of hours, however, suggests that at least some copies of this edition (or else remaining unillustrated sheets of previously printed books of hours) were illustrated with engravings, for no other book of hours is recorded as having been printed at Plantin’s Press in 1574. For these payments she refers to Arch. 18, opening 82 right. (Bowen, Books of Hours, 242) |
