Note 1The dimensions of the title-page point to an in 32mo.
Note 2Bowen adds that this Horae is only known to Voet via the cited title page, which he regards as possibly being 32° in scale. Futhermore, she states that there are no clear records of the printing of this edition. (Bowen, Books of Hours, 229)
Note 3According to Bowen, there is a small error in Voet’s transcription of this title page, namely, the “Romanum” was not set in one line (as it is in the transcription), but rather, it was split between two line in the following manner: “AD VSVM RO- || MANVM.” (Bowen, Books of Hours, 229)
