| Note 1 | Contains, edited by Victor Giselinus, the works of Sulpicius Severus: Sacrae historiae libri IV (pages 25-178), De S. Martini vita liber (pages 179-220), Epistolae (pages 221-238), Dialogi tres (pages 239-332). They are preceded by the Life of Sulpicius Severus described by V. Giselinus (pages 6-24), and followed by Notae on Sulpicius's work by Giselinus (pages 333-399; including, for the Sacra historia, scholia excerpted from the annotations of Petrus Galesinus, pages 352-358), and two chronological expositions by Giselinus to put in its context Sulpicius's narrative: the first on the history of the world in Antiquity (especially Old Testament) (pages 400-405), the second on the period of St. Martin (pages 406-410). |
| Note 2 | In his Notae Giselinus gives details about his sources. For the Sacra historia he did not use manuscripts but already printed editions. Following a manuscript from 'quadam celeberrimae Saxonum civitatis Herdesiae bibliotheca' (= Heresa: Heerse), a certain M.F. (Mathias Flaccus Illyricus) had edited the text for the first time at Basel (Oporinus, [1555]: cf. Brunet, V, Column 321). Giselinus compared this edition with the one edited by Petrus Galesinus (at Rome, 1564), and with a [French translation ?] by Joannes Filleau. For the Vita S. Martini, Epistolae and Dialogi, Giselinus consulted the edition of the Austrian scholar Wolfgangus Lazius, but complains about the many errors left in the publication. He collated the text with a number of manuscripts: four from Louvain monasteries, two from Liège (one of them preserved in the St. Laurentius Abbey, the other belonging to his friend Carolus Langius), an old manuscript with 'notae' (scholia or annotations) on the subject from the library of the Abbey of St. Trond, obtained through the intervention of Theodorus Hallius. While finally he thanks warmly Theodorus Pulmannus for his notes, excerpted from a manuscript of Nijmegen and from one of Kranenburg. |
| Note 3 | The letter to F. Raphelengius, reproduced at the end (pages 411-415), has nothing to do with Sulpicius Severus, but gives interesting details about the studies and interests of both Raphelengius and Giselinus at that time. |
| Note 4 | The edition is mentioned incidentally in two of Plantin's letters: to Stephanus Winandus Pighius, 15 October 1574 (Corr., IV, no. 570: 'Victor Giselius absoluta recognitione operum Severi, ad Prudentium iterum animum applicuit ornandum'; in the draft of the letter, Arch. 8, folio 105v, the text is somewhat different: Sulpitium Severum ante duos menses emisimus in lucem a Victore Giselino emendatum et notis illustratum a quo ad Prudentium rursus expectamus'), and to de Qayas, 1 November 1574 (Ibidem, no. 582: will mail at the earliest occasion, with other publications, a 'Sulpicio Severo'). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 17v (Severus Sulpitius Vict [oris] Gisel[ini], 8⁰, [15] 74, f[euilles] 26, [price:] stuivers 6). |
