Online bibliographical references
Note 1 The collected works of Fruterius, edited by Janus Dousa. They were published 18 years after the death of the Bruges scholar. Dousa, who studied at the University of Paris in 1564, must very likely have met Fruterius in the French capital. No explanation, however, is given how Fruterius's papers came into the possession of Dousa and why the Dutch humanist waited 18 years before publishing them.
Note 2 Contains: Verisimilium libri II (5-132; a series of text-critical notes on a number of Latin authors; with on pages 13-14 'In obitum viri singularis D. Adriani Turnebi elegia') and 'Carminum reliquiae' (135-164), a number of Latin poems by Fruterius, including: Ad Ianum Dousam (135-137), Ad eundem dialogismus (137-138), Ad eundem elegia (138-140), Viro maximo D. Georgio Bucchanano (140-142), Ad Cl. V. Germanum Valentem Guellium Pimpontium, cum legendos illi mitteret Verisimilium libros (142), Josepho Scaligero Iul. Caesaris D.

Followed (but nominally included in the 'Carminum reliquiae') by 'In eiusdem [= Fruterii] obitum poemata aliquot ab amicis conscripta' (164-172); including: Germani Valentis Pimpontii ad Ianum Dousam in elegiam sequentem epigramma (164-165), Iani Dousae Nordovicis…elegia (165-167),…epitaphium autore Victore Giselino (167), Iani Dousae ad Victorem Giselinum elegia, argumento superiori subserviens (167-170), Eiusdem Parodia Catulliana. In Felles literarias (161 [= for 171]-172).
Note 3 The publication includes Julius Severianus, Syntomata rhetorices, edited by L. Fruterius (see no. cp010928), which is formally presented as a separate edition, but formed in fact with Fruterius's Librorum qui recuperari potuerunt reliquiae but one volume, and was normally sold together with it.
Note 4 The work was printed at Leiden, but a number of copies received a title-page with Plantin's Antwerp imprint.
Note 5 The work must have been finished in the first half of 1584 as Livinus Torrentius in his letter to Plantin of 7 July 1584 notes that he had already a long time ago received a copy ('Fruterii vero reliquias multo ante acceperam': Corr., VII, no. 1023, page 158).
Note 6 'Lucae Fruterii reliquiae, in 8⁰' figures in the list of books printed at Leiden of which Plantin presented on 2 January 1585 a copy to the Leiden magistrate, but probably not to be identified with the copy now in Leiden University Libraries (cf. E. Hulshoff Pol, 'Boucken op 't secreet. Plantijndrukken op het raadhuis te Leiden' in Leids Jaarboekje, 1972, page 91).
Note 7 Listed in M 296, folio 6v (Fruterii luçe reliquiae, in 8⁰, f[euilles] 13, a⁰ 84, [price:] stuivers 3½), Ms. 164, folio 14r, and M 321.
