| Online bibliographical references | |
| Note 1 | Third edition of the complete works of Horatius printed by Plantin. These Opera include: Carminum libri IIII (pages 5-130), Epodon liber (pages 131-155), Carmen saeculare (pages 155-157), De arte poetica (pages 158-173), Sermonum libri II (pages 174-243), Epistolarum libri II (pages 244-294). Each poem is preceded by the corresponding part of Aldus Manutius, De metris Horatianis. |
| Note 2 | The edition was planned to accompany the Index rerum ac verborum locupletissimus in Q. Horatii…Poemata omnia of Thomas Treterus, published by Plantin in 1575-1576 (see sub Treterus, no. 2343). In the foreword to the Index, Treterus explained that his compilation was based on the edition of Horatius's Opera by S. Gryphius, Lyons, 1545, in 8º. Plantin had to reprint this publication textually in order that the references to the pages and lines should remain unchanged. This edition of Horatius's Opera is, consequently, much different from all the other publications issued by Plantin. |
| Note 3 | In a letter of 9 October 1574 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, no. 565) to Alanus Copus, in Rome, who acted as middleman between author and printer, Plantin insisted on receiving the introduction to Treterus's Index and continues 'Expecto etiam ipsum Horatii corpus'. In a letter of 1 January 1575 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, no. 598), Plantin affirms to have asked Pulmannus to look after the text of Horatius ('Intellecta vero tua voluntate de Horatio rogavi nostrum Poulmannum ut eum auctorem quem jamdudum susciperat ad editiones correctores et Ms. exemplaria conferendum sibi susceperat vellet tandem absolvere et nobis tradere id quod statim ut solet omnia quae peto mihi est pollicitus'). What Pulmannus was supposed to do and what he actually did is not quite clear. |
| Note 4 | According to the title-page Treterus's Index was printed in 1575, but the colophon states that the work was finished as late as 15 March 1576 (for the reason of this anomaly, see cp012179). The Opera must have been printed about the same time, but it came out somewhat later in the year (as can be deduced from the title-page: 'Quincti Horatii…Poemata omnia. Quibus respondet Index Th. Treteri nuper excusus'). In a letter to Camerarius of 4 April 1577 (Supplément Correspondance de C. Plantin, no. 135), Plantin affirms that he put the edition on the market in the previous Frankfurt Fair, meaning September 1576 ('Horatium correspondentem indici Treterii superioribus nundinis emissi'). |
