| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Medical treatise on protection against the plague (table of the chapters: Van Schevensteen, pages 125-127). |
| Note 2 | A first edition in Dutch had appeared in [1559] (Antwerp, Jan van Ghelen) (cf. BB, III, pages 356-357; Van Schevensteen, pages 121-124). The French edition of 1567 (the privilege and approbatio being dated October 1564, it must already have been completed in 1564) is much enlarged. A new Dutch edition, translated from the French, but with additions and changes, was put on the market in 1571 (Antwerp, Henrik vander Loe [Loeus]) (cf. BB, III, pages 358-359; Van Schevensteen, pages 127-131) and reprinted in 1597 (Antwerp, Peeter van Tongheren) (cf. BB, III, page 359; Van Schevensteen, pages 131-132). |
| Note 3 | According to the colophon the printing was finished on 1 September 1567. |
| Note 4 | Plantin has been commissioned by the author to print the work. The privilege has been granted to Guerin, and the larger part of the edition, if not all the copies, were forwarded to the physician, to be sold through his intermediary at Enghien by the local bookseller Jean de Hertoghe. This happened as late as March 1568: on the 19th of that month Plantin 'baille au frère de Mre. Ja. Guerin, medecin à Enghien' 1,250 copies of 'Traicté de la peste, 8º', together with 2 'rames placars' (very likely a circular letter announcing the publication), and received cash 40 florins Carolus guilders (Arch. 46, folio 57v). |
| Note 5 | Not listed in M 296 and M 164. |
