| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Series of 33 epistles bearing on religous subjects. Printed anonymously by Plantin, at an unspecified date, without name of author (not even Barrefelt's usual pseudonym 'Hiël'). |
| Note 2 | Published after the Ackerschat, to which references are made in the edition (pages 205 and 238). |
| Note 3 | In Barrefelt's letter to Plantin, 17 November 1580 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, VI, no. 893), the 'prophet' poses not only the problem of the publication of the 'Schatboeck' (see cp013068), but also of the 'Epestelboeck', which had to be printed, after the 'Schatboeck', in an edition half larger than the latter (tentatively set by Barrefelt at 300 to 400 copies). |
| Note 4 | Rooses, M. Musée Plantin-Moretus, page 53, by comparison of type and initials, affirms that the edition must have been issued by the Plantin Press, but suggests that it has been printed at Leiden, as a series of small initials do not seem to have been used by Plantin at Antwerp, but appear in at least one of his editions issued at Leiden in 1584, and in works printed by Guilielmus Silvius (who emigrated to Leiden in 1577 where he died in 1580; in 1583 Plantin bought from the widow his stock of woodblocks). |
| Note 5 | In any way French copies of the Sendt-brieven circulated already on 1 September 1583 (see cp010895.), so that it may safely be surmised that at that date the Dutch edition was also already on the market - or at least distributed carefully among the 'friends'. It can have been printed in the beginning months of 1583 at Leiden, or at an earlier date at Antwerp. |
