| Note 1 | As explained by Plantin in the letter to the reader, dated 1 April 1571, (in the introductory part published in 1571), the Provincial Council of Malines, held the previous year, had prescribed the use in the schools of abridged versions of Despauterius's grammar. In that perspective Plantin decided to publish Epitomes, amended, corrected and simplified. |
| Note 2 | For this purpose the notes were used of a friend, whose name is not disclosed. It was supposed by Nauwelaerts that this scholar was Simon Verepaeus, but this is not very likely (see Verepaeus). In M 296, folio 4v, the edition is entered as 'Despaut. In Epitomen redactus, p[er] Synodum'. The last word has been scratched and another word filled in. The result cannot be read with any certainty, but it looks like '…Nausim'. If this is the name of the real author, his identity remains uncertain. |
| Note 3 | In M 164, folio 8v, and M 296, folio 4v, details are given about this edition. The entry refers clearly to the 1571-1572 series (= in 4; number of sheets), but for each volume two prices are given, the second being perhaps the price for the volumes of the 1573-1576 series (in M 164 the second introduced by 'nunc'): 'Despaut. In Epitomen redactus, p[er] Synodum, 4⁰. Rudimenta in 4o, f[euilles] 13½, [price:] stuivers 1½, nunc 2. Etymologia in 4⁰, f[euilles] 18½, [price:] stuivers 3, nunc 3½. Syntaxis in 4⁰, f[euilles] 10, [price:] stuivers 2, nunc 2½. Prosodia in 4⁰, f[euilles] -, [price:] stuivers 1, 1½. |
