Note 1 Laudatory poem of the Netherlands (pages [5-11]), followed by an eulogy of the late Charles V (page [11]), and a series of poems (pages [12-37]) addressed to French and Italian poets and to prominent personalities of the Netherlands, praising their virtues (in a few cases also directly appealing to their help), together with some love-poems (one addressed to the Sainte, two others concerning one Thoninula): to Antonius Perrenotus [de Granvelle], bishop of Arras; Zuchemus Viglius; Franciscus Richardotus [two poems]; Stephanus Girardus; Anna, the late wife of P. Damantius [two poems]; Pontus Tiardaeus; Joannes Comius; Joannes Rubellus; 'De Benedicto quodam laudato ab insulso versificatore'; P. Aretinus; 'De Amore et Tussi'; P. Ramus; Joachimus Bellaius; Joannes Comius; 'De iuvene cano'; 'Ad sanctam quod Gallice scripserit'; Pontus Tiardaeus [3 poems]; P. Ronsardus; Steph. Iodelius; Robertus Haius; Thoninula [two poems]; 'Vino se albo delectari', 'Aliud ad puerum'; Olivaras Magnius; Iach. Bellaeus. Cf. the description and analysis in Young, pages 30 and 176-181.
Note 2 The three poems to Pontus de Tyard had already appeared in earlier publications of this French poet (1551, 1555, 1558). A number of poems must have been written by Des Autelz in 1559; still others were composed at an earlier date, but only published in 1559. Cf. the discussion of the problem in Young, pages 176 ff.
