Note 1Edition of the two books of Alciatus, but without Stockhamerus's comments on the first book.
Note 2The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, opening 101 left, specifies that 'Alciati Emblemata texte' was finished on 8 September 1566; 1,000 copies were printed; wages for composing and printing: 8 florins Carolus guilders; 2 reams 10 'mains' (including 10 'mains' for the 'imperfections') were used of paper 'petit carré', making, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 8 stuivers per ream, 14 florins Carolus guilders 14 stuivers Total: 22 florins Carolus guilders 14 stuivers
Note 3The title-page bears the date of 1567, but the work was actually finished before the edition described in preceding no. and bearing the date of 1566. This may explain why there are 2 illustrations less than in the '1566'-edition (2nd book, emblems 62 and 70).
Note 4Listed in M 296, folio 5 verso (Emblemata Alciati sine c[ommen] t[ari]o 16⁰, f[euilles] 5; [price:] stuivers 1¼) and M 164, folio 10 verso.
