Index
Indexes compiled by Huib van Krimpen
| | | |
Numbers refer to pages. Those followed by an asterisk refer to a footnote on that page. Those preceded by pl. (plate) refer either to the actual illustration or to its caption.
Names and subjects occurring passim were left out unless the context warranted inclusion. Subjects and particularly names occurring once or just mentioned were treated according to the same rules.
Italic figures refer to passages where fuller information on the subject may be found.
Sub-references following one general heading were not treated uniformly for each subject as to the order of sub-headings. Whereas it was found that a more or less alphabetical order was the best solution in some cases, a chronological order was maintained in other cases. In still different cases an order dictated by a sense of logic was applied.
Dutch and Flemish names with van are alphabetized under their main parts, not under Van. The Netherlands diphthong ij is taken together with y.
French names with La, Le, or Du are alphabetized under these parts; these prefixes are treated as names, i.e., they are put in the order La Coste, La Hèle, La Hulpe, La Motte, etc. until La Tombe, followed by Laer, van; Lamberts, etc.
People known under their own names and under a latinized form are entered under the more generally used version; if necessary a cross-reference is given under the other version.
Publications and impressions of Christophe Plantin and his successors on which relevant information and particulars are given in the main text or the footnotes are brought together in a ‘Short-title list’ on p. 626. However, references to Plantin's Biblia Regia (1572), which are numerous, are to be found in the main index in voce: Polyglot Bible.
