Online bibliographical references
Note 1Reprint of the 1580 and 1582-editions, in nonpareille type. It may be assumed that the year 1580 given in the colophon (on page [806]) is a typographical error for 1583.
Note 2The making of the book was rather unusual, as the last quires seem to have been printed first (reconstructed from the Livre des ouvriers, Arch. 33): DD in September, EE and CC in October 1582. After the printing of *, A, B, C, D in November and December 1582, the work was continued with s, v, x, y, in December 1582-January 1583. AA and BB were finished in January and February 1583, and about the middle of February 1583 E was taken up and the work continued in the right order till June of that year. The reasons for this queer way of working are unclear.
Note 32,500 copies seem to have been printed (Arch. 788), though the entry may in fact refer to the 1582- or the 1584-edition.
Note 4On 20 July 1583 500 copies were sold to the Antwerp bookseller Philip Nutius for the sum of 300 florins Carolus guilders (Arch. 19, folio 50).
Note 5Not listed in M 296, M 164, and M 321.
Note 6Regarding the promised Variae lectiones: same text as in the 1580-edition (cf. no. cp011062; see also no. cp011841).
