| Note 1 | Devotional work, in which particularly the charitas is stressed. |
| Note 2 | Plantin was already printing the edition in November 1574 (letter of 6 November to de Seroskerke [Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, no. 583]: 'Habemus autem sub praelo…atque alium libellum quem conscripsit de Officio discipulorum Christi.…'). A copy was sent to B. Girgos at Rome on 12 November 1575 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, V, no. 672). |
| Note 3 | In a letter of 1 November 1596 Arias Montanus asked Jan Moretus if the printer still had enough copies of the Dictatum Christianum to ship 40 copies or more. If there were less copies available it would be worthwile to reprint the work: the reading of the book was recommended in an Andalusian school, and this example could be followed in other schools as well; it was also used for the examination of the candidates to clerical functions (cf. Rekers, Benito Arias Montano, page 211). The Officinia Plantiniana didn't, however, reprint Arias's treatise. |
| Note 4 | A French translation was also issued (see no. cp011272). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 4 verso and folio 11 verso (Dictatum Christianum 12⁰, 1575, f[euilles] 12, [price:] stuivers 3), and M 164, folio 9 recto. |
