| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Dutch-Latin dictionary, with occasionally French and German equivalents. |
| Note 2 | The work was published by Plantin, but printed for him by the Antwerp typographer Gerard Smits (as specified in the colophon). A number of copies received a title-page with the address of the co-publisher, the widow and heirs of Joannes Steelsius. |
| Note 3 | In the foreword to the reader Kilianus explains that Plantin having been publishing Dutch dictionaries, he, Kilianus, became interested in working on his own behalf on such a lexicon. He continues giving some technical details on what he had in mind and how he proceeded in compiling his own dictionary. |
| Note 4 | On Kilianus's methods, the meaning and the sources of his dictionary, its relation to Plantin's Thesaurus Theutonicae linguae (1573) and other dictionaries of the time, see especially Claes, De bronnen…, and van den Branden-Cockx-Sillis. |
| Note 5 | Plantin had published in 1573 the Thesaurus Theutonicae linguae, rather similar to Kilianus's Dictionarium, compiled at his initiative by his proof-readers, including Kilianus. There are indications (more especially in Plantin's foreword to the Thesaurus Theutonicae linguae) that he was not very pleased with Kilianus's enterprise, but anyway he accepted to publish the work of his proof-reader that was to compete with his own publication (see sub Thesaurus Theutonicae linguae, no. 2310). |
| Note 6 | Listed in M 296, folio 4v (Dictionarium teutonicolat. Cornelii Kiliani, f[euilles] -, 8º, [price:] stuivers 4), and M 164, folio 8v. |
