| Note 1 | The medals (bearing the dates 1566, 1573, 1574, 1575) have a ‘patriotic’ character, as do the inscriptions: without referring directly to the struggle against Spain, they magnify the ideas of patria and libertas. Described in Bib. Belgica (1964–1970 éd.) . |
| Note 2 | Andreas Sporus was in 1581 a journeyman in Plantin’s printingoffice: it may be assumed that Plantin printed and published the text, but preferred to put the name of his employee on the broadside (cf. Rooses, M. Musée Plantin-Moretus, page 166). |
