Note 1 | First edition of a collection of critical studies on passages of classic Greek and Latin authors and of short studies on particular points of Roman archaeology. In chapter V is given the annotated text of two Latin poems, Pervigilium Veneris and Floridi de qualitate vitae (after the first edition, by P. Pithou, in 1577). |
Note 2 | In the copy preserved in Leiden University Libraries, Lipsius has, on the dedicatory to Archduke Mathias, written the date of 18 August 1579. |
Note 3 | The book was, in fact, already printed at the end of 1579. On 10-12 December of that year, Plantin told M.A. Muretus that, owing to the troubled situation, he did not risk to send him the complete text of Lipsius's Electorum liber; the remaining sheets would be mailed bit by bit (Corr., VI, no. 852; cf. the answer of Muretus, 8 February 1580: Suppl. Corr., no. 147). |
Note 4 | Listed in M 296, folio 9v (Electorum libri, 8º, f[euilles] 12; [price:] stuivers 4). |
