| Note 1 | Edition of the treatise of Cicero in which the orator tries to console himself at the death of his daughter Tullia (45 B.C.); followed by a - not very favourable - judgment of Justus Lipsius on this treatise, in the form of an undated letter to Plantin (beginning with a general judgment [pages 209-210], and continuing with some remarks on specific passages [pages 211-218]). |
| Note 2 | In the dedicatory the French humanist Claudius Minos tells how the 'libellus' had recently been printed in Italy and a copy presented by the head of the Venetian embassy [in France] to Leonaeus, president of the Paris parliament, who gave it to Jacobus Faius Spesaeus, member of that parliament. By way of another member, Gillotius, Minos could obtain and study the copy for a time and prepare a new edition. |
| Note 3 | It is not clear if this edition was first printed at Paris and reprinted by Plantin at Leiden, but as the dedicatory is dated 1 July 1583 and the Plantin-edition with Lipsius's comment certainly printed before the end of the year, it may be surmised that Minos (who was in epistolary contacts with Plantin in those months about a revised re-edition of Alciatus's Emblemata: see no. cp012297) contacted directly Plantin about the possibility of such a reprint and forwarded directly the text he had prepared to Antwerp or Leiden. |
| Note 4 | The work figures as 'Ciceronis Consolatio, in-16' in the list of Plantin's Leiden publications, of which the printer presented on 2 January 1585 a copy to the Leiden magistrate (this copy lost; cf. E. Hulshoff Pol, 'Boucken op 't secreet. Plantijndrukken op het raadhuis te Leiden' in Leids Jaarboekje, 1972, page 92). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 3r ([Ciceronis] Consolatio cum iudicio Lipsii, f[euilles] 7, [price:] stuivers 2), M 164, folio 5v (price noted by error as being stuivers 12), and M 321 (sub 1583). |
