| Note 2 | Important scholarly edition of Cassianus's Opera and first edition of the texts given in appendix: the Regula sanctorum, the letter of Macharius, and the Capitulare de monachis. Cuyckius used a number of manuscripts he took care to enumerate in his notes in the second part: a) For the De institutis coenobiorum the scholar consulted five manuscripts: from the Abbey of Affligem, the Monastery of Regular Canons at Corsendonk, the Monastery of Regular Canons of Bethlehem near Louvain, the Monastery of Regular Canons at 'Buscus Domini Isaac' (Bois-Seigneur-Isaac) near Nivelles, and the library of Plantin (this manuscript is very likely to be identified with the 14th century Ms. still in the Museum Plantin-Moretus-library: Denucé, Manuscrits, no. 69); b) For the Collationes the list was still longer: besides the manuscripts belonging to Bethlehem, Corsendonk, Bois-Seigneur-Isaac, and Plantin, mentioned sub a, also manuscripts from the Abbey of Gembloux, the Abbey of St. Trond, the Abbey of Villers (near Nivelles), the Abbey of St. Jacques in Liège, the Monastery of Regular Canons at Groenendaal (near Brussels), the Monastery of Regular Canons called the Rouge-Cloître (near Brussels), the College of St. Martin at Louvain, the Abbey of Park near Louvain; c) For the De Incarnatione Christi, to the contrary, Cuyckius had to be content with a single manuscript from the Augustinians of Cologne; d) The texts of the Regula and other documents at the end were taken from a manuscript of the Abbey of Affligem. On this edition and the manuscripts used: P.B. Corbett and F. Masai, 'L'édition Plantin de Cassien, de la Règle des Pères et des Capitulaires d'Aix pour les moines' in Scriptorium, 5, 1951, pages 60-74. |
| Note 3 | In the dedicatory to the Count of Rennenborch (in fact Rennenberg), Cuyckius explains that he had been exhorted to edit Cassianus from Rome by Cardinal Antonius Caraffa. He also affirms that his edition compares favorably with the ones printed some years before at Basel and Lyons. |
| Note 4 | Plantin, in a letter of 7 May 1580, answering an epistle from Cuyckius of 14 April, acknowledges Cuyckius's thanks for having received a number of copies of Cassianus (and continues with an apology of his - Plantin's - behaviour in religious matters) (Corr., VI, no. 874). It may be supposed that these were additional copies delivered to the scholar, as the publication was already put on the market in 1578. |
| Note 5 | In a letter of 1 January 1575 Plantin tells Alanus Copus, then in Rome, in the 'familia' of Cardinal Hosius, that he expects [from Rome] various 'lectiones' of Cassianus (and Irenaeus) (Corr., IV, no. 596: 'Cassiani et Irenaei varias lectiones expectamus'). It is possible that these 'lectiones' were intended for Cuyckius. |
