| Note 2 | The Plantin-edition of 1564 is a re-impression of the one of 1553 of S. Gryphius, Lyons (but without the foreword of Gryphius), itself a reprint of the Gryphius edition of 1544, which in its turn copied the edition of Cologne, J. Gymnicus, 1542 (being the Epitome arranged by Theodericus Cortehoevius [1st edited by: Antwerp, M. de Keyser, 1530] in the Antwerp-edition of 1540, completed by Eberhardus Tappius and Conradus Brunssenius). |
