Note 1Pharmacopaea, of which the content is detailed in Bib. Belgica (1964–1970 éd.).
Note 2In the dedicatory letter to the Antwerp chemist, P. Coudenbergius (Coudenberghe), dated Paris, 1 April 1561, the great botanist Carolus Clusius explains how he found this pharmacopaea, written in Italian ('libellus italice conscriptus [Dispensarium vocant] medicamentorum compositiones continens'), and thought the text interesting enough to translate it into Latin and to edit it in this language. In this he was encouraged by both Coudenberghe and Plantin.
Note 3Translation of El Ricettario dell'arte, et universita de Medici, et Spetiali della citta di Firenze. Riveduto dal collegio de medici per ordine dello illustrissimo et eccellentissimo signore Duca di Firenze, Florence, Lorenzo Torrentino, September 1550 (a copy in Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma), itself a reprint of a publication published in Florence in 1498.
Note 4A number of copies were sent to Parisian booksellers on 5 May 1561 (Arch. 36, folio 7 verso) and 150 copies to Frankfurt on 23 August 1561 (Arch. 36, folio 11 verso).
Note 5The Plantin-edition was reprinted the same year by Theobald Paganus, Lyons (cf. Bib. Belgica (1964–1970 éd.), I, page 78).
Note 6The Antidotarium was normally sold together with Rondeletius, De ponderibus (see no. cp010231), as can be deduced from the mentions in M 164, folio 1 recto, and M 296, folios 1 recto (Antidotarium versum ex italico p[er] clusium, 8⁰, a⁰ 1561, cum Rondeletio de ponderibus f[euilles] 23½, [price:] stuivers 4) and 16v (Rondeletius Guil. de Ponderibus cum Antidotario page Clusium, 8⁰, lat., anno 1561, f[euilles] 39½, [price:] stuivers 4).
