| Note 1 | Text of the Four Gospels and the Acta Apostolorum (in roman type), accompanied by comments explaining specific points and printed in the form of marginals (in roman type, parts in italic type, words in Hebrew) surrounding the texts (to the left on the even pages, to the right on the uneven pages; generally also underneath and sometimes above the text). |
| Note 2 | Arias Montanus wrote his comments at different times, but of the Four Gospels and the Acta Apostolorum only the Gospel of St. Mark is dated at the end (Rome, August 1572). The work, as a whole, ends with a pious verse and the date 12 January 1574. |
| Note 3 | In the summer of 1574 Plantin told some friends that the Elucidationes were on the press and that he hoped to finish the work before Christmas (Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, nos. 541, 583, 587). Just before Christmas 1574 Arias Montanus wrote Plantin a letter asking if his treatise could be finished within the week, so that Plantin and his sons-in-law, when saluting the governor of the city of Antwerp at the occasion of the new year, could present a copy to the magistrate. In the same letter and in the same sentence, however, Arias had to tell his friend that he still had to make a fair copy of the draft of the praefatio to his treatise (which, in fact, is dated 24 December [1574]) (Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, no. 592: 'Si fieri posset ut in hac natalitia finirentur quatuor Evangelia cum praefationibus quas iam scripsi sed nondum descripsi describam hodie deo volente, id esset mihi pergratum, ut offerremus D. Gubernatori unum exemplar cum tu illum salutares una cum utroque genero'). This made it rather difficult for Plantin to finish the Elucidationes in due time: the work was only achieved in January or February 1575 (cf. Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, nos. 603 and 623). |
