| Note 1 | The edition contains two volumes presented as separate publications but normally sold together: a) The Greek text of Hesychius from a manuscript in the library of the Hungarian humanist Joannes Sambucus, edited by Hadrianus Junius (this no.), b) The Latin translation with additional corrections and annotations by Hadrianus Junius (see following no.). |
| Note 2 | In his dedicatory to Busbequius, Sambucus tells how some three years ago he mailed the manuscript (together with the one of Eunapius: see no. cp013480) to his good friend Junius, who had expressed the wish to translate the texts. |
| Note 3 | Plantin pressed Junius to send the dedicatory letter as quickly as possible as he was going to print the work. The humanist, excusing himself that he did not know the matter was so urgent, mailed one (= addressed to C. Bickerus) in his letter of 16 March 1572 (Correspondance de C. Plantin, III, no. 376; cf. also Correspondance de C. Plantin, IV, no. 594: page 214, n. 1, an undated short note of Junius on the subject). |
| Note 4 | Of ‘Hesychius de Vitis et Philosophorum’ 50 copies were still in stock in the Plantin Press in 1642 (L. Voet, The Golden Compasses, II, page 459). |
| Note 5 | Listed in M 296, folio 8 verso (Hesychii Millesii Illustrii de his qui erudit. fama claruere grecolat., 8º, aº 1572, f[euilles] 8 [= meaning the two volumes together], [price:] stuivers 2). |
