1.Compiled with the aid of the journal of 1650 (Arch. 258) and the sales in the shop (Arch. 262). For lack of the Cahier de Francfort for that year the data on transactions with the Holy Roman Empire are incomplete.
2.Of this 5,435 fl. 8¾ st. were for church institutions and clerics.
1.It is difficult to show the exact range of the transactions of the Officina Plantiniana with Bellaine, since both parties practised barter in a peculiar way (not met with either before or after), namely by exchanging printed sheets (and not, as is mostly the case, books for books). Only one delivery to Bellaine to the value of 141 fl. 3 st. was specifically noted.
