| Illustrations | Copper engravings, c. 57 × c. 38, representing saints or scenes from the New Testament celebrated on fixed calendar-days (the representations themselves are oval, surrounded at the corners by a fleuron-style ornamentation). In all 230 illustrations, of which 12 are reproduced twice. They were designed by Pieter van der Borcht (his monogram [PB] frequently reproduced) and engraved by Paul Uten Waele whose identification-marks are less frequently found (P.V.W.: pages 45, 59, 69, 79, 97, 107, 215, 235, 259, 265, 285, 329, 351, 361, 427, 435, 437, 439, 447, 451; P. VTEN WAELE F.: page 269; P. VTEN WAELE: page 287; P.V. WAEL FECIT: page 383). On this nearly unknown engraver and his relations with Plantin: A.J.J.

| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Publication consisting essentially in a series of representations of saints and scenes from the New Testament on the even pages, with a small typographically printed text (above the illustration: date and name of the saint [or the scene]; underneath the illustration: a note on the saint or scene), the whole within typographically printed double lines (the uneven pages are blank but with numeration and also with printed double lines). |
| Note 2 | In 1580 appeared a similar illustrated series of religious feasts regarding the life of Jesus celebrated on not-fixed calendar-days. It was formally presented as a separate publication, but must have been considered to form part of the Imagines and was consequently sold together with it (and is as such listed with it in M 321, M 296, and M 164). See no. cp010246 (Evangeliorum dominicalium summaria sanctorumque historiae). |
| Note 3 | Plantin on 10 December 1579 informs J. Buyssetius that, among other works, he has on his presses 'Imagines sanctorum omnium qui in Kalendario Romano habentur una cum historiis ex Evangeliis Dominicis per totum annum in aere; forma in 24⁰ cum elogiis brevib.' (Corr., VI, no. 851, page 115). Two 'Kalendrium cum figuris aeneis' were mailed to Arias Montanus in October-November 1580 (Ibidem, no. 892). |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 321 (sub 1580: Calendarium historicum etc. fig. de cuivre, 24⁰, [price:] florins Carolus guilders 4 stuivers 10), M 296, folio 3r (Calendarium Romanum historicum fig. de cuivre, 24, f[euilles] - ; [price:] florins Carolus guilders 4 stuivers 10), and M 164, folio 6r. |
