| Note 1 | Contains a Latin grammar (pages 6-47) and a Latin syntax (pages 51-78). It was in fact but the first part of a larger treatise on Latin grammar, as can be deduced from the Plantinian catalogues. |
| Note 2 | M 296, folio 7v, mentions '[Grammatica] latina Ant. Cauchii in 8⁰, 1581, f[euilles] 9½, [price:] stuivers 2'. M 164, folio 14r, has a nearly identical entry ([Grammatica] Ant. Caucii in 8⁰, 1581, f[euilles] 9½, [price:] stuivers 2). It is also mentioned in M 321, sub 1581, but without the number of quires (Antonii Cauchii Gramm[atic]a in 8⁰, f[euilles] -, [price:] stuivers 2). The number of quires as listed in M 296 and M 164 is larger than in the actual edition. It may, consequently, be assumed that this Latin grammar was in fact sold together with the Rudimenta etymologiae Latinae, formally presented as a separate publication (see following no.). But, as the Grammatica and the Rudimenta have, together, only 8 quires (Grammatica: 5; Rudimenta: 3), and the catalogues speak of 9½ quires, there was very likely also a third part, having 1½ quires, of which no copy is known. |
| Note 3 | The initiative for the publication must have come from the author. In a letter of 17 February 1581 Plantin acknowledges the receipt of the 'Grammatica tua' (meaning the manuscript of Caucius's Grammar), promising as the same time to calculate the number of quires for estimating a price (a bill the author had very likely to pay, wholly or partially), and to mail a proofsheet, about which the author could send his remarks (Corr., VI, no. 917: '…et Grammaticam tuam quam primo die inchoabo Deo favente atque tum dinumerabo quot foliis illa excudi possit et inde pretium colligam tibique significabo et specimen una mittam efficiamque quantum in me erit ut quae mones observentur.'). |
| Note 4 | In a letter to de Cayas, 21 December 1585, Plantin notes the mailing of a number of school-grammars he had printed, including 'celle de Cauckius [qui s'enseigne] en Hollande et Oostlande [= Germany or more likely the eastern parts of the Northern Netherlands]' (Corr., VII, no. 1056, page 244). |
