| Note 1 | Contains: 16 'exercitia' (pages 25-358). |
| Note 2 | Probably a reprint of the first editions: Freiburg, Abraham Gemperlin, 1587, and Ingolstadt, David Sartorius, 1587 (cf. De Backer-Sommervogel, II, Column 677). |
| Note 3 | In a letter to F. Costerus, 10 August 1588, Plantin tells that he has on his presses the 'Exercitia Rev. P. Canisii' 'cum figuris ex descriptione D. Verepaei' (Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1389). This must mean that the humanist Simon Verepaeus gave the instructions what should be illustrated and how (it is not very likely he made the actual designs for the engraver). In a letter to Simon Verepaeus, 31 August 1588, Plantin tells the scholar 'Post multas dificultates in figuris ab artificibus extorquendis tandem Manualis Catholicorum Reverendi admodum Patris Canisii impressionem absolvimus' and announced the mailing of a number of copies (Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1400). |
| Note 4 | In this letter Plantin specifies that he sent as many copies with copper engraving-illustrations as with woodcut-illustrations. A number of copies, consequently, had engravings (as in the copy described here), whilst another part of the edition received woodcuts. The prices varied accordingly. In M 296, folio 11v, is specified: 'Manuale Catholicorum P. Canisii, 16⁰, a⁰ 88, f[euilles] 11½, [price:] stuivers 5 [= for the copies with the woodcut-illustrations]; et cum figuris aeneis stuivers 10 [= for the copies with intaglio-illustrations]'. The same data are given in M 321. |
