| Note 1 | Series of 'bons mots' of important personalities, each with a short explanation when and how they were pronounced. |
| Note 2 | The first edition was published by Corrozet himself at Paris, 1556 (and published again in 1557). Plantin's edition is the first known reprint by another publisher (cf. Brunet, II Col. 302). |
| Note 3 | Part of the edition was sold to the Paris bookseller and publisher Arnould L'Angelier. The copies intended for L'Angelier received a title-page with the latter's imprint (see following no.). The transaction is noted in Arch. 34, page 16, under the date of 18 June 1557 (together with other dealings with and deliveries to L'Angelier): 250 copies of 'Les propos memorables en 12⁰' were shipped. As each copy contains 11½ sheets 5 reams and 15 'mains' of paper 'de Rochelle' were used, which cost 5 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers; the printing came to 5 florins Carolus guilders 4 stuivers; together: 10 florins Carolus guilders 14 stuivers |
| Note 4 | It is possible that L'Angelier ordered later an additional number of copies: 100 copies (corrected from 200 or 250) 'Propos mémorables', worth 4 florins Carolus guilders, were, together with other books, forwarded on 11 February 1558 to a carrier for shipment to Paris (the customer or customers are, however, not noted) (Arch. 34, page 19). |
| Note 5 | In Arch. 38, folio 2, mention is made on 16 July 1556 (= for 1557) of the sale of 6 'Propos memorables, r[eliés]', worth 12 stuivers, to Plantin's Antwerp colleague, Joannes Steelsius. |
| Note 6 | Listed in M 296, folio 15r (Propos memorables p[ar] Gilles Coroset, 12⁰, A⁰ 1558, f[euilles] 11½, [price:] stuivers 1½). |
