[1] The essay by Michèle -Caroline Heck relates on the one hand to Karel van Mander’s Schilder – Boeck (and in particular to the first part of it, Den Edel vrij Grondt der Schilder – const, published in 1604) and on the other hand to Joachim von Sandrart’s Teutsche Academie, published in Nuremberg in three volumes between 1675 and 1680, and of which in later years an edition in Latin was issued. Michèle-Caroline Heck is, however, already the author of Théorie et pratique de la peinture. Sandrart et la Teutsche Academie (Theory and practice of painting. Sandrart and the Teutsche Academie).

[2] To remember, if nothing else, that Sandrart lived in Rome between 1629 and 1635 and attended the circles of Cassiano dal Pozzo. In those years the latter was busy planning the first printed edition of the Treaty of Leonardo. As reported by Sandrart himself (in his Latin edition of the Teutsche Academie, not the in German on), Nicolas Poussin handed him an apograph manuscript of the Treatise, of which, however, we lost track. The author does not exclude that this is a case of "false claim" in order to strengthen his stature as a theorist in front of an international audience of readers.
