The Plantin Press Online aims to provide in-depth bibliographical descriptions of all editions printed and published by Christopher Plantin (c. 1520–1589) in Antwerp and by his officina in Leiden until his death on 1 July 1589. It includes references to his typographical material, his correspondence, and the Plantin archive in Antwerp, as well as links to digital reproductions. Based on the printed edition compiled by Leon Voet in collaboration with Jenny Voet-Grisolle (Amsterdam, 1980–1983), this open-access research tool incorporates the latest bibliographical findings as well as corrections to the print edition. The dataset is continuously updated and complemented by specialists at the Museum Plantin-Moretus in Antwerp. We are embedding citizen science, which means we invite users to provide any additional information that would improve this bibliography.This digital resource is published in collaboration with Museum Plantin-Moretus.

Edition of 1587 (?)
(116 words)
Record ID Voet: 2431 Note 1 On 14 April 1587 (
Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1244) Plantin tells Verepaeus that he had mailed him a copy of the new edition of the
Grammatices (‘una Grammatices tuae nostrae iteratae impressionis’), printed, however, before he had received the amendments by the author and the new forewords and dedicatories. As the various parts of the edition with the date of 1586 seem to have already been finished in March 1586, this can mean that in the meantime a new edition had been put on the market. It is, however, not excluded that Plantin simply refers to the edition of 1586. VEREPAEUS …
