| Note 2 | According to the dedicatory to Julius Strozza, pages 7-8, Stewechius had been inspired by and tried to improve on the commentary on Apuleius's De asino aureo of Philippus Beroaldus (a copy of which he acquired at the Frankfurt Fair through Plantin). |
| Note 3 | The poem by A. Gerardus Dalanthus (on page 6) is probably the one originally intended for Stewechius's Vegetius (cf. no. 2419. |
| Note 4 | In a letter of 27 August 1586 Plantin tells the author that he is printing his Quaestiones in Apuleium (Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1131). |
| Note 5 | In that same letter Plantin is more evasive about another work Stewechius submitted to him for publication: the Electa in Arnobium (which in fact was only printed a long time after Stewechius's death, in Antwerp, by J. Trognaesius in 1604: cf. Biographie Nationale [de Belgique], 23, Column 764; see also a letter of L. Torrentius to Wamesius, 23 June 1589, on the subject: Suppl. Corr., no. 218). |
| Note 6 | Stewechius also tried to have published by Plantin a text-edition of Apuleius, which had to be complementary to his Quaestiones et coniecturae. The original manuscript is still preserved in Museum Plantin-Moretus, M 63 (cf. Denucé, Manuscrits, no. 389, pages 233-234), with its title-page and dedicatories, including one in the form of a letter to Plantin, dated Trier, 10 November 1586 (text of this letter in Corr., VIII-IX, no. 1172). Stewechius was so sure about the outcome that he even forwarded a sheet with detailed instructions (in Dutch) for the compositors who had to set the Apuleius (Arch. 117, folio 1). However, the project was ultimately shelved (very likely because Stewechius died before having arranged with Plantin the last details, including, as for the Vegetius-edition, an advance sum to cover the typographer's initial expenses). |
