| Variants | A. According to Peeters-Fontainas 'certains exemplaires possèdent, au tome I, vol. 1, 3 ff. en plus; ces ff. sont montés sur onglets; le 1er comprend une table; le 2e, les privilèges concédés par le Saint Siège et par le roi Philippe II, respectivement en 1572 et 1573; le 3e une table d'errata'. Cf. also RDB, page 113. It may be supposed that these addenda have been printed in Spain. B. The copy in Museum Plantin-Moretus has in II, 1, inserted between pages 2 and 3, a sheet with on the recto-side the table of 'La tercera parte' (II, 1) and 'La quarta parte' (II, 2). Very likely this additional sheet too has been printed in Spain. |

| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Monumental study of the history of the Iberic peninsula in 2 parts and 4 volumes, divided into 40 'books'; largely devoted to the Spanish kingdoms, but with treatises on Portugal (books 34-35: II, 2, pages 759-939), and the Moorish kingdoms of Cordoba (books 36-38: II, 2, pages 941-1039) and Granada (books 39-40: II, 2, pages 104 [= for 1041]-1166). |
| Note 2 | According to Peeters-Fontainas all copies bear the handwritten signature of the author on I, 1, page [2]. |
| Note 3 | Gossart, following Garibay's own narrative, gives interesting data about the Spanish historian's movements and actions concerning the printing of his work: Garibay started working on his History in 1556; having finished the enterprise, he asked in August 1566 Philip II permission to have his manuscript printed, at his own expenses, by Plantin in Antwerp. He received the royal authorization after a laudative report by Juan Paez de Castro, chronicler of the King. The author left Mondragon with his manuscript on 25 March 1570 and arrived at Antwerp on 4 June 1570. The Flemish compositors having difficulties with Garibay's Spanish handwriting, the historian had his manuscript rewritten by four copyists in a French hand. The author, moreover, helped the two proof-readers in correcting the proofs. The printing started in August 1570. After eleven months, the monumental work was finally finished in July 1571 (confirmed by the colophon in II, 2, page [1067]). Garibay took the precaution to send the printed copies of his work to Spain by way of different ships, to Biscaya and Andalusia. The shipment of the original manuscript was entrusted to the care of a Bilbao skipper, who received a substantial fee for this commission (Garibay, to be able to sell his copies in Spain, had indeed to submit to the Royal Council in Spain the manuscript with a printed copy in order to prove that nothing had been changed to the original text). The precious manuscript arrived safely in Spain, but if the larger part of the copies came also through, a number of them were nevertheless lost at sea, some by the action of an English privateer; a loss put by the author at 2,000 ducats. Garibay himself returned to Spain by way of France, not without being robbed in the neighbourhood of Châtellerault. |
| Note 4 | The designs for the illustrations were executed by Pieter van der Borcht and Pieter Huys. The former received 4 florins Carolus guilders for the title-page. The latter was paid 3 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers 'pour la pourtraicture de deux ornements ou compartiments (= the two cartouches) et cinq armoiries de Portugal, Navarre, Castille, Leon, etc. (= corrected into '6 armoiries'), an unspecified sum 'pour la pourtraicture du compartiment et armoiries de Granade etc.', and finally 2 florins Carolus guilders for 'Diverses menutés de lectres Gotticques etc.: la pourtraicture à P. Huys deux fois à faire' (Arch. 31, folio 162v). Nothing is said about the 'pourtraicture' of the portrait of the author. The woodblocks were cut by Antoon van Leest: the artist received, on 9 May 1571, 9 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers for 'la vignette ou compartiment avec 5 armoiries po[ur] le S. Çamalloa' and 10 florins Carolus guilders 'Item encores ung compartiment et armoiries des Rois Mores pour le Sr. Çamalloa', somewhat later, at an unspecified date, 20 florins Carolus guilders for 'Le chapiteau du livre du Sr. Çamalloa', and finally, on 27 July 1571, 1 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers for 'Un ecusson pour Camalloa' (Arch. 31, folio 65 bis roman type). Together 41 florins Carolus guilders The fees paid to A. van Leest for the work executed 'por el Senor Estevan Çamalloa' are also noted in Arch. 31, folio 162v, but with some changes bringing the total to 56 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers ('pour la taille dud[ict] compartiment et armoiries': 14 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers; 'pour la taille dud[ict] compartiment de Grenade etc. et armoiries': 14 florins Carolus guilders; 'Le frontispiece du livre du Sr. Camalloa': 28 florins Carolus guilders). |
| Note 5 | The monumental publication was, as is specified on the title-page, printed by Plantin at the expenses of Garibay. The agreement between author and printer is entered in Plantin's ledger on 14 July 1570. Garibay paid then an advance-sum of 1,400 florins Carolus guilders Later payments included 200 florins Carolus guilders (at a not specified date) and 400 florins Carolus guilders (on 29 August [1571]), bringing the total sum paid to Plantin to 2,000 florins Carolus guilders These payments included the delivery of some books and bookbindings to Garibay, reducing the printing costs proper to 1,895 florins Carolus guilders The last delivery of books to Garibay is noted on 5 October 1571 (Arch. 16, folio 131). |
| Note 6 | The work was in fact not printed in the Officina Plantiniana, but by two other Antwerp typographers, commissioned by Plantin to do the job: Jan Withagen (or Verwithagen) and Theodoor Lindanus (Van der Linden). Their names are not mentioned in the publication, but they figure in Plantin's ledgers. Jan Withagen was paid on 4 November 1570 229 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers for printing 90 sheets (counted at 3 reams per sheet, this means 270 reams, at 17 stuivers per ream), and again 730 florins Carolus guilders for printing from 4 January till 15 June [1571] 296 sheets (counted this time at 2 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers per sheet) (Arch. 16, folio 134; the actual payments for the 296 sheets are entered in Arch. 29, from 4 January till 1 July 1571). The job done by Lindanus is not detailed or even summarized in the ledger (Arch. 16), but payments totaling 222 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers are entered in the 'livre de caisse' for 1571 (Arch. 29) from 13 January till 22 July. These payments include only the remuneration for the printing; the paper was supplied by Plantin. |
| Note 7 | The fact that in the payment to Withagen of 4 November 1570 is noted that 3 reams of paper were needed for every sheet, let it be understood that 1,500 copies were printed. |
| Note 8 | The relations between author and printer must have been strained at times: on 13 February 1571 Plantin wrote Garibay a formal letter stating that he heard that the historian has complained about Plantin's conduct. Plantin feels that he has done nothing wrong, but is willing to have the eventual points of friction judged by mutual friends (including very likely Arias Montanus) (Corr., II, no. 602). |
| Note 9 | In a letter to another Spanish historian, J.Chr. Calvete de Estella (or Estrella), Plantin, on 12 September 1581, states that he printed Garibay's History at the expenses of the author, who took with him all the copies printed ('Historiam Garibay quatuor voluminibus impressi quidem sed sumptibus authoris qui ne unum quidem mihi reliquit exemplar') (Corr., VI, no. 941). |
| Note 10 | Listed in M 296, folio 4r (Chronica d'Espa di Chamalloa, fº, 1571, [price:] florins Carolus guilders 10), and M 164, folio 7v (f[euilles] 311). |
