Note 1 | Spanish translation of Cicero's four Orationes contra Catilinam. |
Note 2 | In the dedicatory the Spanish physician Andres de Laguna explains that he made this translation at Brussels in the winter of 1556-57 'para recrear el animo afflicto'. The dedicatory itself is dated from Antwerp. It may be assumed that the translator contacted personally Plantin to have his work printed. |
