| Note 2 | Edition of 'sentences' of Cicero, Terentius, Demosthenes, Erasmus, and others, compiled by Petrus Lagnerius (Toulouse) and D. Iacotius Vandoperanus (Paris). Reprint from one of the French editions. For the texts compiled by P. Lagnerius: first known editions at Paris, Robert Estienne, 1546; Paris, R. Estienne, 1548; Paris, Prevosteau, 1550; Lyons, Seb. Gryphius, 1552 (cf. Brunet, II, Column 59). In 1560 Plantin's Antwerp colleague Joannes Latius published a similar edition (Museum Plantin-Moretus, R. 1.19), but with some changes which make it unlikely that Plantin followed this publication (dedicatory by Lagnerius to P. Baudetius, Toulouse, 23 August 1541, instead of to the brothers Ferreius, 24 August 1541; addition by Plantin of the dedicatory and the 'Libellus ex Cicerone' by Iacotius and the short poem by B. Menius). Latius himself must have followed the Prevosteau edition of 1550, as he reproduces the note to the reader by the typographer, 27 October 1550. |
| Note 3 | According to the colophon the edition was finished on 19 May 1561, but the shipment to Lucas Brayer, Paris, of 6 copies 'Sententiae Cicer. 16⁰ 1561' is already listed on 5 March 1561 (Arch. 36, folio 8r). |
| Note 4 | 50 'Sententiae Ciceronis' were packed in a barrel to be sent with other books to the Frankfurt Fair on 22 August 1561 (Arch. 36, folio 11v). The sale of a bound copy, worth 6 stuivers, to Christopher Gente is noted on 29 October 1561 (Arch. 38, folio 33). The entry of 750 'Sententiae Ciceronis Plantini 16 à 16 feuilles' in Plantin's account with Joannes Steelsius on 17 June 1561 has been crossed out, meaning that the deal must have been cancelled (Arch. 38, folio 64r). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 17v (Sentent. Cic. et Demosth. in 16⁰, A⁰ 1561, f[euilles] 16, [price:] stuivers 3). |
