| Note 1 | Treatise in Dutch on interests: exposition on the different kinds of interests (pages 9-34), tables of interests (pages 35-58), a note on these tables (page 59), followed by a number of applications (pages 60-92). |
| Note 2 | In the dedicatory Stevin affirms that he is not the inventor of these tables, as Jan Trenchant had written before him on the subject in the 3rd book of his Arithmetics, and as he had furthermore heard that in Holland similar tables were circulating but were kept secret by those who possessed them: copies were expensive, especially regarding the explanation of the construction of the interests. |
| Note 3 | A French translation was issued in 1585 (included in La pratique d'arithmetique: see no. 2258). |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 296, folio 19r (Tafelen van Interest deur Simon Stevin, 8⁰, f[euilles] 6, [price:] stuivers2, a⁰ [15]82), and M 321. |
