| Note 1 | Contains Buchanan's paraphrase on all the Psalms (pages 4-260) and his religious drama Iephthes sive votum (pages 272-318). |
| Note 2 | Iephthes seems to have been first published by Michel Vascosan at Paris in 1557 (Brunet, I, Column 1368). The Paraphrasis was first printed at Paris in 1566 by Henricus and Robertus Stephanus, in 16mo; this edition included also Iephthes. Plantin has this text reprinted: in Museum Plantin-Moretus are preserved two copies of the 1566 Paris-edition, with annotations for Plantin's Antwerp reprint, one containing only the Paraphrasis with at the end the handwritten approbatio of Sebastianus Baer (K 905), the second containing both parts with at the end the handwritten approbatio of I. Schellinc (R 4.38). The poem 'Eiusdem [Buchanani] epigramma, in quo imago introducitur alloquens peregre advenientes', printed after Buchanan's Hymnus in Christum in the Paris-edition, was not retained by Plantin (and is crossed in the copy visited by Schellinc). The note 'Carminum genera, quibus in hoc opere poeta usus est' (pages 261-265) is, on the other hand, not found in the Paris-publication and must have been made at the instruction of Plantin. |
| Note 3 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 89, gives following details about the 'Psalmi Buchanani in 16⁰': printed in 1566 (no other chronological references are given); the wages for composing and printing the 10 sheets came, at 2 florins Carolus guilders 14 stuivers per sheet, to 27 florins Carolus guilders; 1,600 copies were printed, for which were used 32 reams 10 'mains' of a 'grand carré' paper, costing, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 12 stuivers per ream, 52 florins Carolus guilders Overall costs: 79 florins Carolus guilders 'qui est peu plus de 1 [stuivers] [per copy]'. |
| Note 4 | The publication was already on the market in August 1566 as Plantin mailed on the 8th of that month '1 Psalterium Buchanani' to his friend Andreas Masius (Corr., III, no. 336). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 14v (Psalterium carmine p[er] Georg. Buchan. in 16⁰, A⁰ -, f[euilles] 10, [price:] stuivers 2½). |
