| Note 1 | Series of observations on rare and difficult medical cases. The first series of observations were made by Dodonaeus himself (pages 1-121; in all 54 cases and a 'parergon'; in each case is generally first given the detailed description, followed by a 'scholion' with explanations and occasionally bibliographical references). This series is followed by observations made by: Antonius Benivenius, physician at Florence (pages 122-259; 111 observations, each generally followed by an 'annotatio' by Dodonaeus), by Valescus Tharantanus 'qui scripsit anno 1418' (Valescus de Tarenta or Balescon de Tharare, physician of Charles VI, King of France, and professor at Montpellier) (pages 260-264; 6 observations of which only one with an 'annotatio' by Dodonaeus), by Alexander Benedictus 'qui vixit anno 1483' (Alexander Benedetti, of Legnano) (pages 264-275; 16 observations, of which 4 with an 'annotatio' by Dodonaeus); finally two cases observed in 1549-1551 by Matthias Cornax, rector of the University of Vienna (pages 276-288), a case observed by Aegidius Hertogius (de Hertoghe) in 1549 of which he wrote a note to Matthias Cornax (pages 288-294), and another case on a similar subject observed by Achilles P. Gassarus (Gasser, physician of Maximilian I), of which also a written statement was transmitted to Cornax (pages 294-298). |
| Note 2 | Re-edition of Dodonaeus's publication of 1581, Cologne, Maternus Cholinus (cf. BB, II, pages 228-229). Have only been added the 54th case observed by Dodonaeus and the 'parergon' (pages 115-121). On the other side, the treatise 'Physilogices medicinae partis, tabulae expeditae', printed at the end of the 1581 Cologne-edition, has not been reproduced. The observations made by Dodonaeus, as printed in 1581 (and 1585), were themselves a revised and enlarged edition of what he wrote on the subject in Historia vitis vinique et stirpium nonnullarum aliarum, item medicinalium observationum exempla rara, Cologne, Maternus Cholinus, 1580. |
| Note 3 | RDB, page 281, affirms, but without giving references, that this edition was published with Plantin's addresses of Leiden and Antwerp. No copy with on the title-page Plantin's Antwerp imprint is known. |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 321 (sub 1585 and with the explicit mention 'A Leyden': Remberti Dodonaei Medici Caesar. Medicinalium observat. exempla rara. Accessere et alia quȩdam, quorum etc., 8to, f[euilles] 20, [price:] stuivers 8). |
