| Note 1 | Edition of the 42 fables of Avianus, followed by a biographical note (extract from Lilius Gregorius Gyraldus) not on Avianus but on another Latin writer of the 4th century A.D., Festus Rufus Avienus, who, however, has nothing to do with Avianus and did not write fables. |
| Note 2 | Edited by Theodorus Pulmannus, who used for his publication three manuscripts, noted on page 29 (N: 'liber canonicorum Noviomagensium Collegii Catharinae'; A: 'eiusdem collegii alter'; P: 'Theod. Pulmanni'). |
| Note 3 | In Museum Plantin-Moretus there are two old manuscripts with Avianus's text (Denucé, Manuscrits, no. 84 [11th century] and no. 140 [15th century]). According to L. Herrmann, 'Notes sur deux manuscrits anversois des fables d'Avianus' in Latomus, 3, 1939, pages 119-125, Denucé, no. 140, was one of the manuscripts used by Pulmannus. In this case it must be identified with A (= the second manuscript of the St. Catharina College of Nijmegen). |
| Note 4 | These Fables of Avianus form bibliographically a separate edition. The work, however, is nearly always found together with Plantin's 1571-publication of Cl. Claudianus, edited also by Theodorus Pulmannus, and there are indications that it was considered to be an appendix to the Claudianus-edition. Indeed, Plantin's catalogues - M 164 and M 296 - don't mention Avianus, but both list the Claudianusedition (Claudianus cum annotat. Pulmanni etc. 16⁰, f[euilles] 15, [price:] stuivers 4), and the number of 'feuilles' given make only sense when the pages of Avianus are also taken into consideration (see cp010237). |
