| Note 1 | Collection of sayings and expressions useful for the people who have to write or speak Latin (1st edited by: Basel, J. Froben, 1518). |
| Note 2 | This Plantin-edition is a reprint of the 1562-edition of J. Frellon, Lyons (as proved by the fact that the erroneous date of 1 August 1523 [for 1524] in the Frellon-edition has been taken over in Plantin's printing). The biography of Erasmus has been copied from an edition of the heirs of Chr. Egenolph, Frankfurt, 1555 or 1562. |
| Note 3 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 70, specifies: the wages for composing and printing were paid from 1 July till 22 September 1564, and amount to 56 florins Carolus guilders 18 stuivers (including 1 florins Carolus guilders 6 stuivers for '4 copies [of the edition or editions used for the reprint]' and 3 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers for 'le privi[ege] et visit[ation] [= approbatio]'). As each copy contains 24½ sheets and as 1,250 copies were printed, 63 reams of paper (including the 'imperfections') were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders 3½ stuivers per ream, came to 74 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers, bringing the overall costs to 131 florins Carolus guilders 8 stuivers, and making the cost price per copy 2 stuivers 'et 2 stuivers sur le tout'. |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 164, folio 6r, and M 296, folio 3r, but in a way which makes it impossible to distinguish between the editions of 1564 and 1567: 'Colloquia omnia Erasmi in 16⁰ a⁰ -, f[euilles] -, [price:] stuivers 4½'. |
