Note 1 | This publication was in fact printed at Leiden, but part of the edition received a title-page with Plantin's Antwerp imprint. |
Note 2 | The reasons for this operation are not clear. After Antwerp's capitulation to the Spanish king in August 1585, Plantin often sold copies with his Antwerp address of editions printed in the Officina Plantiniana at Leiden, in order to distribute them in Catholic or at least Spanish dominated countries. In 1584, however, both Antwerp and Leiden were under Calvinist control. |
