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.

Kalendarium Romanum, 1565
(97 words)
Record ID Voet: 859 Note 1 The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, fol. 107, mentions a ‘Kalendarium Romanum’, very likely in the form of a broadside, in 1565: on 22 June of that year the sum of 1 fl. 16 st. is entered for the wages for composing and printing ‘une demye feille de Kalend. Romanum’. Of this half sheet 1,500 copies were printed, for which 1 ream 12 ‘mains’ of paper ‘grand carre’ were used, costing 2 fl. 11 st., and bringing the overall costs to 4 fl. 7 st.

Kalendarium Romanum cum septem psalmis, 1567 (?)
(87 words)
Record ID Voet: 860 Note 1 Plantin mailed on 15 February 1567 to de Cayas ‘6 Kalendarium cum septem Psalmis’ (
Corr., I, no. 22). In Arch. 4 (cost-accounting ledger 1563-1567) no references are found to such an edition. It is difficult to identify this ‘Kalendarium cum septem Psalmis’ with the
Calendier et première instruction des enfants, en Latin, et en François (see no. 861), containing the seven penitentiary psalms, but being a calendar in French and Latin. CALENDARIUM (KALENDARIUM)
