| Note 3 | In the dedicatory, the editor Pulmannus gives only few indications about the manuscripts and the printed editions used: 'Hunc…poetam…ad vetustum meum codicem, atque doctissimorum virorum Mureti, et Lambini castigationes diligenter correxi, ut maiori voluptate, et utilitate legeretur…'. |
