| Note 1 | Martialis's Epigrammata 'expurgated' from its 'obscenities' for use in the schools. The editor is presented as being the French Jesuit Emundus (Edmundus) Augerius (Auger) (Alleman near Troyes, 1530 - Como, 31 January 1591). In fact, the text was adapted by Andreas Frusius (des Freux), who died in 1556. Augerius found the manuscript and had it published in Rome, 'in aedibus Societatis Jesu', in 8⁰, 1558. The Plantin-edition is a reprint of this Roman 1558-publication (cf. De Backer-Sommervogel, 1, Columns 632-633, and 3, Column 1047). |
| Note 2 | Plantin's dedicatory to de Çayas, 1 January 1568, is reproduced in Corr., III, no. 348. An allusion to this dedicatory is made in Plantin's letter to de Çayas, 24 December 1567 (Corr., I, no. 97). Two copies were mailed to the secretary of Philip II on 12 January 1568 (Corr., I, no. 100: 'Voici que j'envoye à V.R.S. 2 exemplaires du Martial par moy ordonné aux enfants sous l'auctorité de vostre nom'). |
| Note 3 | One '[Martialis] ab omni spurci et obscoenitati liberatus' is mentioned in Plantin's letter to Camerarius, 12 April 1568 (Suppl. Corr., no. 58). |
| Note 4 | Listed in M 296, folio 11v (Idem [Martialis] castratus p[er] Emundum Augerium, 8⁰, f[euilles] 20, [price:] stuivers 3½). |
