| Note 1 | Text of Florus's Roman history, edited by Joannes Stadius. The Commentarius of J. Stadius on Florus's History (see cp012040) is formally presented as a separate edition, but both formed in fact but one volume and were normally sold together. |
| Note 2 | In the note to the reader in the Commentarius Stadius explains that having already forwarded his manuscript to Plantin he received through the intermediary of Ludovicus Carrion a Florus-publication edited by Elias of Venice from other manuscripts than the two, not very clearly written, which Stadius had used. At the collation Stadius did not find too many important differences. He consequently did not change his text, but preferred to give in this note to the reader some corrections or explanations to the text gathered from other sources. |
| Note 3 | The cost-accounting note in Arch. 4, folio 98 verso, gives the following details about 'L. Julius Florus': the wages for composing and printing quires A-K are entered for 15 florins Carolus guilders on 28 June 1567; the quires A-F of the Commentarius are inscribed at an unspecified date for 10 florins Carolus guilders 16 stuivers; finally the last quires of the Commentarius are noted on 23 August for 19 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers; together for the printing 45 florins Carolus guilders 6 stuivers To this were added the expenses for the making of the index by Kerkhovius ('pour la faceon de lindex a Kerkhovius': 3 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers) and for 'les Privileges et formats' (3 florins Carolus guilders 10 stuivers). As each copy contains 26 sheets and as 1,250 copies were printed, 66 reams (including the 'imperfections') of paper 'croix blanche', bought from Heret [of Mainz] were used, which, at 1 florins Carolus guilders per ream; came to 66 florins Carolus guilders, bringing the overall costs to 118 florins Carolus guilders 6 stuivers |
| Note 4 | On 11 August 1567 Plantin mailed to Stephanus Winandus Pighius a copy of the Florus but without the index (= figuring in the Commentarius) which was not yet finished ('Florum, quamvis indicem nondum absolverim, mittere placuit': L. Voet, 'Plantin en de kring van Granvelle' in De Gulden Passer, 37, 1959, page 163). The index itself was sent to Pighius on 22 August 1567 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, I, no. 81, and Correspondance de C. Plantin, III, no. 344). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 10 verso (Lucius florus cum c[ommen] t[ari] o Jo. Stadii, in 8⁰, 1567, f[euilles] 25, [price:] stuivers 4). |
